What advice would you give to someone who is trying to teach themselves software development skills? I'm doing that right now, and I'm finding it easy to understand, yet difficult to implement in computer code. I want to move onto more advanced stuff, but I feel that I don't have enough experience quite yet. What skills/courses would you recommend I take? How did you get better on your coding journey? Any tips to make the process go faster? Thanks in advance!

I agree with your motion of creating simple software, but removing learning complex approaches and complex software don't help with this.

Creating simple software requires understanding of what is complex and how to make it simple. There is no way that you can do this without learning. You either learn this by craft or learn through the practise.
