But as soon as someone gets to an intermediate level and start thinking for themself and make those exact same mistakes.

"We've been doing things wrong this whole time! I figured out a better way!" Then spend a lot of time implementing the "better" way only to find out it performs like shit and actually takes more work to implement and maintain anything.

Everyone has to do that at least once.
