I am a writer, programmer, and aspiring animator. You can always find me in my natural habitat: The comfort of my bedroom.
Chats and collaboration. Say hi! I'm always eager to chat.
Nice post. The tutorial hell is real, and many devs out there experience it. It was nice to see a developer going through this openly talk about it. Based on my understanding of your post, it looks like HTML & CSS are the culprits here. Not going to lie, they seem easy to learn but once you start building projects with them they become nightmares to work with. I would say this though, CSS is more of a design tool so having a good sense of design helps, meaning in some way, I think it is much harder to master than JavaScript because you can actually see the changes happening and design is very subjective. Keep experimenting with your tools and use Google and you'll automatically get better at these things. There are only so many tutorials that can help. Focus on the journey, not just the results. Building things you find useful seems like you already have a good idea of your journey and the path to take. I enjoyed reading your article, and wish you luck on your journey. (Side note) Thanks for the JavaScript reference early on in your article. Here's my solution: ```let arr = [1,2,3] let sum = 0 const squares = (a) => { a.forEach(num => { sum += num**2 }); return sum } console.log(squares(arr))``` I always love a good coding challenge :)
Hi, I visited your blog from your original post on DEV.to, from what I have seen, you're an aspiring developer and content creator, and of course it would take a while to find your audience. But the only way to find that audience is to ... Write! 馃槀 But sometimes we all just need a break from social media, work and all. I have been on my break since the first quarter of 2022. I'm officially going back to Hashnode and the online dev community in February, so I guess I can say I understand where you are coming from. Also, you are an amazing writer, and thanks for this amazing article. It's been such a long time since I've read something this inspiring. Personally, I think you should take a lil' break, because you deserve it, and when you come back to Hashnode as a full writer, I'm sure your next articles would be a 100 times better than this one.馃専
Thanks for the wonderful motivation. I'm 13 and most times, I feel like I'm too young to be a web developer (I'm not even a junior developer 馃槄). I started web development when I was 11 and thanks to you, I know how to improve my knowledge on my field of study. I know I may be too young for this, but I hope that I can help others the way you've helped me.
