Stop memorizing syntax, start breaking your code on purpose

I spent 2 months copying tutorials and forgetting everything by the next day. Then last week I tried intentionally writing errors, like missing brackets or wrong variable names, just to read the error messages and figure out what they meant. Has anyone else learned faster by deliberately crashing their own projects instead of following along?

Breaking stuff on purpose is just a fancy way of saying you read the error logs, which everyone does anyway when things fail. Not exactly a breakthrough, just a normal Tuesday.
