The tutorial trap that got me for 3 months

I kept watching beginner Python tutorials and typing along exactly as they showed. After 3 months I realized I couldn't write a single line of code without looking at someone else's screen first. The tutorial authors make it look easy because they already know the answer. Copying code and calling it learning is like watching Gordon Ramsay cook and saying I made the meal myself. Has anyone else hit this wall where tutorials become a crutch?

Three months of typing along and I still freeze when facing a blank screen, like a deer in headlights.

Congratulations, you've memorized the recipe without learning to cook.
