You watch the tutorial. Guy builds a full-stack app in 12 minutes. Smooth jazz playing. No errors. Dependencies install on first try. You follow along step by step. Your version looks like someone tried to paint a tiger on a dog and gave up halfway through. The tutorial conveniently skipped the part where you spend four hours debugging why your environment variables aren't loading. Also their Node version is different. And that package got deprecated. And you're pretty sure they edited out the 47 Stack Overflow tabs they had open.
