Since I've started my developer journey 2 months agos I feared this day would come: I feel stuck.
I learned HTML, CSS and Javascript, then I started learning React because that's what's popular. Now I think I have a basic understanding of how React works, enough at least to make single page applications with simple functionality. But then it begs the question: What's next?
I truly don't know. I guess that's one of the big problems with being self taught.
I tried looking around for projects to build but they all seem too complicated for my level of knowledge and seem to require technologies I didn't think I would need to learn such as MongoDB, GraphQL.
I'm sure some of you have had this issue. What to do in this situation?

Firstly, 2 months is nothing. I've been doing this 30 years and regularly feel stuck
The secret to becoming a great programmer is learning to break complex and complicated problems into small and completable steps.
Find a project that will 'fix' an itch that you have; perhaps auto-post on Facebook or scrape a special offers page for a local store. Fix one step at a time (find the New Post button using Selenium and CV2 image recognition, get the header for the offers page using getElementById() ) and take it from there...
Post your problem here if you want suggestions as to how to break it down.
