If it feels easy, you're not learning.
The hard part is the whole point.
Tutorials feel like progress. You follow along, nod, and think you learned something. But recognizing an idea isn't the same as applying it on your own.
Being stuck isn't failure. It's growth. Most learning methods remove that friction. That's backwards.
Learning is not supposed to be fun. The primary feeling should be that of effort. There are a lot of videos on YouTube/TikTok etc. that give the appearance of education, but if you look closely they are really just entertainment.
