What exactly is this “tutorial hell”?

The multitude of online resources that you encounter each and every day in your quest to learn new technologies is called tutorial hell.

You try to stick to a tutorial, but then the other one seems more fancy. You give that one a try and then a new one by an instructor you love pops up in your feed.

Then comes the phase when you begin to blindly copy everything that your instructor does. You don’t write anything yourself, and the moment you type it along is the moment you forget about it.

This carries on and on until all your time is spent not doing the thing that you wanted to do in the first place, which was — Building your project!

What is the strategy that I recommend to never go down that rabbit hole?

That hard truth is — you need tutorials. That’s not going to change at all.

But you need to be judicious with your time as well!

So my first tip is: Pick your tutorials carefully!
