You cannot learn everything

Knowledge is like an ocean and time is very limited like if you want to pour the entire ocean in a a cup!

The same with languages, frameworks and technologies; you have got very limited time to learn a lot of things, especially if you are in the beginning of your career and you are trying to do everything you can in order to grasp each nut and bolt, whether you're a game developer, a web developer or designer , front end or back end , it really doesn't matter and you will overwhelm yourself with too much stuff if you follow this mind set.

My advice to you is: Slow Down and take your time, if you want to be a front-end dev, you can learn HTML CSS JS and maybe have an idea about one back-end language like Java, Python or C#, in addition to a few technologies like Docker and Github; I think this is quite enough [ not to mention that you will have to learn a framework like Angular or React and this will require more time and more dedication ].

Take it slowly but surely you will build you knowledge in no time as you take those steps steadily, this is one of the shooting strategies in the army; snipers need to be calm and if they are calm then you're focused and when you're focused your accuracy level increases in shooting the target; be a sniper instead of being someone with a lot in his arsenal but shooting up and down, right and left.

Read tech blogs, read other people's code and then write your one notes if you want or you can jump to your text editor directly and write your own code, your way ,with comments and explanations.

Finally, don't get distracted; if you decided to study Python then study Python; if you decided to study JavaScript then do it; don't jump back and forth or you won't achieve anything and you'll discover that you have lost your time with no fruits collected; but that doesn't mean that you can't learn both, if you want , please by all means I encourage you if this will help you in your career but don't start Python then jump to Java then to C# to Ruby [ believe me I have been there and learned the lesson the hard way !]

Stay Safe and Happy Coding!
