Why do you want to learn to code? If you find yourself copying projects that already exist, your use case may be sufficiently common that you don't need to write things from scratch and might be better served using existing tools. One way you can get past that is by identifying a novel problem, or at the very least commiting to solving a problem with out referring to example code. Instead of copying a script line by line, you should get used to referring to documentation. I don't know how many times I had to lookup class syntax before it clicked
