When his code fails, he almost immediately fixes it without explaining the debugging process.

Start with a practical beginner course (e.g., JavaScript fundamentals or a full-stack starter). Build one small project end-to-end, then iterate and add features while following additional focused courses (React, Node, or backend language of choice). "Can you explain polymorphism
