I started learning JavaScript in 2011. I came to if after a dogpile of other languages. It's like C and it's not. It's like Perl and it's not. I'm still learning it and it's still generating things to learn because the spec is developing. Once you learn COBOL, you've learnt COBOL. Once you learn JavaScript, another ES comes out and you've got to learn something else.

All your advice is good. Your point 5 is probably my point 1. My first major JavaScript stuff-up caused the company to lose a client.

Lord! JS is forever evolving. Once you are good with one way, they come out with something else and Iā€™m like..... šŸ˜‘. It makes me wonder how ES7 is gonna be!
I hate that the company lost a client, but I bet that you learned from that mistake. Iā€™m sure that it happens to the best of us. šŸ˜ƒ
