Great article. Thank you. I thought it was just me. I have 33 courses on Udemy. Finished 6, 18 not started, 7 in the works. There's an opportunity here for Udemy or its instructors to create accountability groups.
The advice in this article is pure gold!! I'm also guilty of buying courses and not finishing them.
I think writing about what you is one of the most underrated learning tools. I also love accountability groups and building projects, but there is something special about writing that immediately reveals any gaps in understanding.
This article was a lifesaver for me. I thought I was the only one experiencing this. I purchased a web crawling course 4 years ago and completed about a third of it before switching to the data engineering field, and I haven't looked back since.
Now, I've even developed a data engineering side project, which I believe is one of the best methods for enhancing a skill. I completely agree with your viewpoint!
Tutorials, tutorials, tutorials. I put them on my calendar then keep kicking the can down the road. Accountability I so agree with you on. My learning style is mind mapping. Making a Power Point helps me get into all the nooks and crannies. So many tutorials I just struggle.

Projects are a great way, but then I'm biased! :)

Thank you for such a inspirational article! I started to share my Go experience based on your advice and insights which I mentioned here https://dev.to/olgabraginskaya/the-golang-saga-a-coders-journey-there-and-back-again-part-1-leaving-the-shire-4ago
Good reasoning and ideas!
Thanks, I'll take a look.
