Fresh out of high school. No plan, no direction, just a laptop and a feeling that I should probably figure out what to do with my life. Eight year...

I wish I can tell juniors: "Forgot about React and learn Vue.js, because you will be able to build the same things with more joy and ask superb people if you need help."
But yea, to be honest, newbies w/o React would probably struggle finding a decent job, as everyone wants it (eventhough it is just be because "everyone wants it").
This is a great breakdown of what it takes to learn the web. Ive seen so many bootcamps that try to fit this into 6 months and the only way students pass is with tutors and i wonder how much sticks.
My journey was similar but a bit longer and it started back in the early 00s. There are so many more resources now but things are also far more complex. Its much closer to building software then a web page listing your favorite movies and bands.
Keep up the hard work. Youre never done learning.
Keep on writing dude. I created an account just to tell you that. \m/\m/
This was such a refreshingly honest breakdown of what the real learning journey looks like. The part that hit hardest was how things finally started to click once you built something you actually cared about — not tutorial clones. The reminder that obsession, not perfection, is what moves you forward will resonate with so many beginners. Thanks for sharing the story and the practical roadmap. 🙌
Am glad you found it resourceful
you have provided real goođ information. I have followed you on twitter. I am myself right now at the start of my journey and I think I will be taking your resources into account.
Thanks a lot, Vansh! Really appreciate that. Wishing you the best as you start your journey, and I’m glad the resources will be useful to you. Feel free to ask me anything on X anytime.
Wow, what an amazing read, Elvis! 👏
I’ve gotta say, I could totally relate to so many parts of your journey — from those messy first projects to the all-nighters trying to fix bugs that made no sense. It’s wild how similar that feels!
Your story really hit home and reminded me why I fell in love with coding in the first place. Thanks for sharing this — it honestly reignited that spark to keep learning and building! 🚀
Thank you for this honest sharing of your path in coding. Made me think about mine and realize some truths. The Journey never ends.
Congratulations, this is real way to learn coding .what you done and doing is best practice for beginners. Goodluck and thanks for sharing .
God bless you, without your story I would have quit programming. Remain blessed. Thanks a million.
Thanks for sharing!
