Just read that most beginner coders quit in the first 3 months

I was looking at some stats on a coding blog last night and saw that over 70% of people who start learning to code give up before hitting 90 days. That number really got me, because I'm about a month in myself. It made me think about what trips people up so early. What do you think is the biggest reason beginners stop so fast?

The tutorial hell phase around week six gets most people.

Honestly, that's when you have to just start building something, anything at all.

Oh for real, week six is where it really hits. I was so pumped at the start and then just hit a wall where nothing made sense anymore lol. I had to force myself to just start building something dumb, anything, to get past it. That tutorial loop is a real trap.
