Thank you for sharing such a detailed post. Do you think that it is important to know CS concepts at the start of my coding journey or CS concepts can be learned later? My situation right now is "I know all the basics of JS" but I don't know what to do next. Do you have any suggestions for me?

You're welcome 😊 I can only speak from personal experience, but I didn't go into depth when it comes to CS concepts. I just went through Khan Academy's CS Principles section quite early on, and am still catching up on CS concepts beyond that. Since you already know the basics of JS, I'd suggest putting your knowledge into practice by building something simple and take it from there. Building little projects really helped me a lot, because it helps you put things into context, and it also helps you spot gaps in your knowledge more easily. Maybe try following a curriculum like The Odin Project. You can also join the community on Discord. Everyone's really welcoming and supportive!
