No shortcuts, no pressure to "master everything at once" — just focused, consistent learning.</p> <p>Why I believe this is the right move:</p> <ul> <li>Learning in public keeps me accountable</li> <li>Consistent practice beats perfectionism</li> <li>Starting with the fundamentals builds real confidence</li> <li>I want to build a real portfolio employers can trust</li> </ul> <p>I’ve created a GitHub repo where I’ll post code, notes, and projects as I go:<br> <a href="https://github.com/hkdibakoane/web-development" rel="noopener noreferrer">github.com/hkdibakoane/web-development</a></p> <p>If you’re also learning — or starting like me — let’s connect. And if you’re an experienced dev, I’d love any tips or feedback along the way.</p> <h1> SelfTaughtDev #WebDevelopment #CodingJourney </h1> beginners codenewbie learning webdev
