You've never programmed before and want to learn but don't know how. You haven't touched any code or built anything.
You can build projects but only with tutorials or LLM assistance. You cannot code anything without help, which is problematic for interviews.
You can build projects by yourself and code things like tic-tac-toe without help, but you're unsure what to focus on and are still slow.
You can build projects and code fast enough to impress in interviews, but you lack communication skills needed for job hunting.
You have a great resume and are getting interviews, but you keep failing the coding interviews.
You're passing coding interviews but now face system design questions. This is typically for senior roles but increasingly asked for juniors.
