Everyone tells beginners to "build projects," and everyone imagines something huge and impressive. That pressure is exactly why so many people never start. So let me lower the bar for you: build something small enough to be almost silly.
Small is the whole point
A tip calculator. A page that shows a random quote. A form that says hello with your name. These feel too simple to matter — and that's precisely why they work. They're small enough to finish, and finishing is the skill you're really training.
Every tiny project drags a few concepts out of theory and into your hands. You hit a real bug, you solve a real problem, and you remember it in a way no video can give you. Ten finished toys will teach you more than one course you never applied.
