I'm currently at a point in my development journey where I often find myself watching tutorials on Django, but then I start to doubt my abilities. I wonder how I can effectively use functions, libraries, or project structures on my own. It feels overwhelming when I see tutorials using things I don't fully understand. I'm really looking for advice from experienced developers on how to overcome this self-doubt and actually start building something on my own. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

It's easy to get stuck in what people call 'tutorial hell,' but the key is to just start building. I recommend starting small—maybe a simple ToDo app or something like a Notes app. Don't feel pressured to make a huge project right away; you can gradually expand your projects from there. Remember, you gain experience over time, and that’s what helps you grow as a developer.
I totally get that, but the main issue is figuring out how to build it without getting stuck.
