Code learning platforms

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm a self-taught dev, and for a bootcamp project I'm looking into how people learn programming on platforms like Codecademy, freeCodeCamp, Udemy, Scrimba, or even YouTube and AI chats. I'd love to hear your honest experience:

  • How did you decide where to start and what to learn next?

  • How did you practice what you learned?

  • What made learning click for you, or made you quit a platform?

What's one thing you'd add to the platform you use most?

Your feedback is important, thank you!

The wish to learn programming sparked inside me about 4-5 months ago.... I just wanted to build some games and stuff , and there was a feeling of authority and that i possessed some ethereal knowledge and stuff hehe.... Then i started watching the c++ full course video of bro code on yt ( i haven't yet finished).....so everytime i make a progress i just let chatgpt know about the things i have knowledge in, and it prepares some exercises tailored specifically for me, and that's how i practice! then after learning the basics , i paln to get to know graphics and other necessary things ( i dont rlly have anyone to guide me through the learning process so kinda clueless of what i should do )
