Craig Bot Is everyone here a computer programmer?

👾 Marty Currently learning. I wish I was though...

🗿 Simohamed Some unsolicited advice? watch tutorials/crash courses/talks that are well above your level (in moderation.) They will help you navigate your way through learning paths and give you a wider range of readable articles (e.g. a solution to a JS problem in a React article.)

👾 Marty Thanks for the advice. I will definitely do that. I'm currently stuck in tutorial hell and I don't know why. Total mental block or something...

🗿 Simohamed What are you learning? If JS, contrary to popular opinion, I would advise you to pick up a framework (Vue or Svelte) and be productive in it as soon as you know your way around Arrays in JS (map, filter, join, etc.) Skip state management and routing and pick up a meta-framework (Nuxt, Gridsome, or Sapper) as soon as you understand the core mechanics of that framework. Here's a goal for you: build a statically generated, headless CMS-powered blog by the end of the month.

👾 Marty Yeah I've been learning JS. Working a NodeJS tutorial now and was going to jump into a react one once I finished this. Maybe I'll jump over to Vue instead. I've actually not even heard of those meta-frameworks, thank you for those.
