Most architects trying to learn computational design are watching video tutorials on repeat. The problem with this is you follow along, finish the video, and then forget everything the next day. You never actually learn how to think in Grasshopper. You just know how to copy what someone else did. This leads to feeling behind, losing confidence in your technical skills, and watching less experienced architects get the jobs and promotions you wanted. After selling 500+ courses and helping architects build real portfolio projects with computational design, here's what I'd do instead: Learn by solving, not watching. Build real projects from scratch, get feedback on your work, and tie every lesson to something you can actually put in your portfolio. This is because when you build something yourself and get it reviewed, it sticks. You understand the logic, not just the steps. Which leads to having portfolio work that makes employers notice you, the confidence to say you actually know Grasshopper, and a real shot at a better job or promotion. You can think about it like this: Do you want to keep watching tutorials and forgetting everything the next day? Or would you prefer to build real projects and use them to land a better job?
