The guy who told me to skip tutorials and just build stuff was wrong

My buddy said to jump straight into making a to-do list app without watching any Python tutorials. I spent 12 hours getting syntax errors and gave up after 3 days. His advice only works if you already know the basics of variables and loops. Anyone else get burned by the 'just build something' crowd?

Classic 'draw the rest of the owl' advice right there.

Tutorials really do skip the hardest parts. They show you the simple setup then leave you to figure out the actual trick yourself. A few more intermediate steps would make these guides way more useful.
