I don't know how I stumbled upon your video, but I really needed this. I always thought being a good developer was someone who can build an app from scratch with little to no resources. Thank you so much for your insights!

I found this via Reddit, this is excellent content. I have referenced my own material so many times from past attempts or tutorials.

Super great and reassuring information. I'll watch videos from Web Dev Simplified and think, "How does he just pull all of this from his mind?" And it's mega discouraging.

But what about during coding interviews where they want you to code on the spot?

Great vid! I wish you had gone over what "tutorial hell" is a bit more. It would have made your point on Adaptation much more clear, IMO. That being said, picking up only what you need from tutorials is an awesome way to learn how to piece together projects and definitely helps with understanding the code since you have to apply it to your own projects. Thank you!
