Don't get stuck watching to many tutorials (known as tutorial hell I think), they're usefull but start working on your own, you will learn more that way. You learn more from your mistakes than you succeses (this is true in this industry)

Learn how to read docs and ask good questions, and don't be afraid to ask for help.

Don't believe everyone on twitter, hype is a thing, don't get caught by it. Learn the basics first, then advance to learning frameworks or more complex topics. People will tell you you must learn the new super cool ultra invincible framework, don't belive them it's usually just BS. Adopt frameworks and tools that have been used for a while and have a big community behind.

The most important thing I would recommend, is that it's imposible to know everything, you just need to know that it can be done, then when you need it you can research and make use of it.
