I've found that the best way for me to gauge my progress is to note when following along with a video where you're playing your "do-it-wrong-at-first-then-show-you-how-it-should-be" scheme; and yet, even not knowing that I'm chasing the ball over the wrong fence I nonetheless smell a rat and find the eventual clean up all the more instructive.
I'm truly glad you value my "do it wrong first" strategy. I believe the most effective way to learn the right approach is to understand why the wrong method doesn't work
