Learning programming is like a never-ending rabbit hole. You start with one language or framework, only to find that to really solve the problem, you need to pick up a side skill… which itself opens a whole new rabbit hole. And sometimes, you circle back to the original task with new insights, ready to dive even deeper.
Over the years, I’ve navigated through Java, Python, Node.js, React, and even Solidity, and each project has taught me that side paths — whether it’s learning a new tool, debugging a tricky dependency, or exploring blockchain concepts — aren’t distractions. They’re essential detours that make you a better developer.
Embrace the rabbit holes. They lead to growth.
