Thanks Marc! No, I'm not starting from scratch, I already work as a WordPress developer and have done for many years but I feel I have become stagnant and trapped in a wordpress bubble so the above is attempt to push myself out of my comfort zone. I am comfortable with HTML, CSS/SCSS, Javascript, Git and I've spend quite a lot of time learning react. Next on my list of things is TDD with react and node, I was considering learning python instead of node because I like the idea of using it for web development and being able to create command line tools but I decided node was the way to go considering I'm already comfortable with js and what I want to accomplish.

Thanks very much for your comment I agree with all of your suggestions, now is the time to get to work instead of theorising! I'm currently working on a MVP at the moment but in my rush to get started I didn't include tests from the get go and now I'm having to work back to add them in. This is one of the big reasons for the post, to define my values for learning/development so I go about it in the right way.
