I've been diving into programming for almost a year now, and I'm starting to wonder if my workflow is effective. It goes a bit like this: 1. I come up with an idea for a project; 2. I spend hours searching for libraries and tools that might help; 3. I start coding with what I know; 4. I inevitably hit an error; 5. After a lot of debugging, I often end up using AI to generate the broken section of code. I really want to know if I'm going about this wrongly or if there's something I should improve. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

One thing to consider in your approach is breaking down your main problem into smaller subproblems. This is key! Think of it as a recursive process—each time you run into a hurdle, tackle it in even tinier steps until everything feels manageable. Then, when you start piecing everything together, it should feel a bit like assembling LEGO blocks; you’ll have the confidence to create a complete solution eventually.
So basically, you're suggesting tackling one small piece at a time until I get the full picture?
