While tutorials are great and can help you out a lot, they are not a replacement for learning how to code. Anyone can copy someone elses code with ease. But to truly learn how to code yourself and understand what you are coding, you need to take what you learn in tutorials and implement it in your own unique way.
If you are new to coding, here is a topic made a while ago with some great tips on making your coding adventures go more smoothly. One major habit everyone needs to get into is backing up your project files! While GM:S will make backups for you, up to 15. It is great practice to make your own backups elsewhere.
Never be afraid to ask for help with whatever issues you are having. Sometimes it takes someone else looking at your code to spot the problem, give you a faster and cleaner way to write, or just figure out how to do something. Remember, when asking for help, it's best to include the specific code you are having issues with. Make sure to copy&paste the code, a screenshot will let us see it, but won't allow anyone to easily test it. And at best, include the project file if you feel comfortable with others digging through your code.
I've seen a lot of this since the Humble Bundle deal. Remember, this is a very nice, friendly and family oriented community. If you don't agree on something someone says, don't downvote them into oblivion and curse them out and talk down to them. Simply offer a counter statement, in a nice and educating manner. Insulting others will get you nowhere, and the next time you ask for help, others may be less inclined to help you if you have been very hostile in the past.
This list will continue to grow. If I missed something, let me know. I'm sure I did.
Thanks to /u/Cajoled for help with suggestions and the topic title.
