If you could start over, what steps would you take to get where you are today? (Most efficient way to get to where you are today)

What are a few things you do to manage your time? What are some things that contributed to your success? What are a few of your favorite functions that you wrote that contribute to your workflow? ( maybe a bash function or a script that opens your entire work environment)

Hey, it sounds like you already have a pretty decent understanding of front end dev. I would recommend going for backend. Usually people expect you to be full-stack (both front end and backend ). If I were you I would take a month or two to learn pure ruby or any oop language. Then start using Rails or Flask. While using Rails or any other framework you can integrate other front end technologies like React or Angular.
