How can I overcome my struggle to remember code after following tutorials?

You're definitely in what we call the 'tutorial plateau'. It's great that you've learned from tutorials, but now it's time to apply that knowledge. Try building something entirely on your own, using the concepts you've learned. Look for problems to solve or projects that excite you!

I've been there too! I like to recreate tutorial exercises a week later, but I also do daily coding challenges on platforms like Codecademy and SoloLearn. Even though they have ads, they're a great way to reinforce what you’ve learned without spending money!

Memorization isn’t as important as understanding concepts. Focus on knowing how to approach problems rather than memorizing syntax. You'll be surprised at how much sticks once you actively engage with coding regularly!

Don't worry, it's completely normal to forget complex code over time. One trick is to comment your code thoroughly as you write it. This way, when you revisit it later, you'll have reminders about what everything does. The more you practice and solve problems multiple times, the more you'll start remembering how to do things!

Practice is key! The more you code, the better you get at remembering things. It’s perfectly normal to forget code after a month, so don't stress too much about it. Just keep working on projects you enjoy and tackle fun challenges.
