Here are the biggest mistakes beginner coders make — and how to avoid them.
1. Copy-pasting without understanding. It works… but you learn nothing.
2. Avoiding errors. Bugs are annoying, but debugging is where you grow.
3. Skipping the basics. You don’t need to master frameworks if you don’t understand loops and functions.
4. Writing code that only you can read. Clean code matters — even if you’re the only one looking at it.
And 5. Thinking you have to know everything before you start. You don’t. Start messy. Improve daily.
Mistakes are normal. Staying stuck in them isn’t.
