Thanks, I'm very glad you liked the post! That question definitely does haunt me a lot too, especially if dealing with a tough obstacle and am wondering if I missed learning something that would have helped. But that also can help guide what I want to learn next - when I had issues with JS dependencies, that's when I knew to focus on CommonJS and ES6 Modules.

A lot of it is solved by learning to ask yourself the right questions about how much you should learn and what to prioritize next. It was a great takeaway from a book "The Five Elements of Effective Thinking," which I've found very useful in how I study coding. I highly recommend it for further reading!
