I think the fear of making mistakes in beginner coding is overblown. My understanding really clicked when I had to track down a simple logic error in my own script.

Totally agree about tracking down your own logic errors. I learned more from one broken script where I'd misnamed a variable than from ten perfect tutorials. That moment it FINALLY runs is straight up magic.

I spent like three hours once looking for a missing closing bracket in my first Python program. That kind of frustration really does stick with you, way more than just copying code from a guide. I completely get that magic feeling when it finally works after you've torn your hair out over one tiny mistake. It turns that panic about being wrong into a weird kind of focus, you know? Those moments are what actually make you feel like you can figure things out.
