I used to think you had to memorize every single function before writing a line of code.

After I built a simple calculator last month, I realized you just need to know how to look stuff up and start building. What's a small project that helped you get over a learning block?

Ever notice how this applies to everything, like cooking or fixing stuff around the house? I got stuck trying to learn guitar until I just tried to play one simple song all the way through. Suddenly all the chords I was trying to memorize separately started making sense together. It's like you need that one small finished thing to see how the pieces connect.

I always tried to master the parts first, but you're right about needing a whole project to see how they fit.
