Hey guys im new to this community. And I saw a lot of cool things here already.... but a quick question. Im TERRIBLE at coding. How can I improve, any resources, tools, tips?
What can I do to get better.

Don't know how you've been learning so far, but I would suggest getting more familiar with the documentation of the language you are using, and then relying more on this - and less on LLMs (which is what so many of new programmers are doing). This approach has always given me best results:)

I used YouTube tutorials... for python/SQL. Now im trying to do some more project based work... but im not going to lie....
Im not exactly a CS major im a econ major.... that works as an analyst. But in today's job market... seems like there is some coding required. And im just trying to improve.

Start with an easier (higher level) programming language. Python. JavaScript. Shoot you could even start with node programming to get the mindset down. Big tip tho: even the most experienced programmers look stuff up all the time. You simply can’t remember it all.

Find a thing you want to code. Find resources to help you code it. Write the code and ask for help online when you need it. That’s all there is to it.
If you want to be better at swimming you go practice swimming, there’s no magic pill you can take or secret incantation you can chant that’ll make you a good swimmer.
