“Failure is the mother of success” is a common saying and from my experiences it seems pretty true that we learn best from experimenting and trying out things for ourselves bz-we learn best from doing - especially from our mistakes (because we remember better and actually understand) - see I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand
Learning from theory is good for a foundation but I think I really started to understand how to code from doing repeated practices (python programming exercises like reverse this string, creating cyphers in university) and pretty much the same for coding projects, brush calligraphy and cooking. This might be because we improve using our heads but in the actual scenario we go by feel and instinct? (see david perell video on golf swings?)
