I personally don't see an issue using scripts early on when learning as long as it's allowing you to focus on a specific part of development.

Ultimately the way I learn is:

  1. Find a problem/project
  2. See if I can solve it 100% on my own
  3. Find an actual solution/script online and compare it to my terrible one.
  4. Break down each section of the script I found so I fully understand why/how they implemented it that way.
  5. Repeat
