That one comment about 'just start typing' finally clicked for me

I was watching a Python tutorial on YouTube last night, the one from Corey Schafer's series, and someone in the comments said 'you don't need to know everything, just start typing and Google the errors.' That hit me hard. I spent like 3 weeks trying to memorize syntax before writing a single line of code, and now I realize I was just avoiding the hard part. Has anyone else felt that weird fear of hitting the keyboard for the first time?

Man that fear is REAL until you just GO for it.

That tutorial comment is what finally got me coding too. Was stuck reading a whole book on Python before even opening an editor, felt like such a waste of time looking back. Google saves me every time I get a weird error message, no shame in it at all.
