What really helped me was to build a project from scratch and just do some googling as you get stuck. AI makes the googling part easier nowadays but really understand the AIs response instead of copy-pasting. Especially because it might require optimization to fit your specific use case. Good luck to you on this infinite journey ๐Ÿš€

The problem I see is that with the MERN stack you are learning backend, Express and MongoDb and frontend.
I understand you want to build applications. but if you want to focus on frontend I suggest learning about latest functionality of HTML, CSS and javascript before diving in fullstack development head first.
A way you can do that with visual results is to use a design system solution like Storybook. The benefit of a design system solution is that you can toy around with different view libraries or use HTML/CSS/JS.
There are a lot of concepts to learn in frontend. And they don't match backend development all the time.

When I started, tutorials assumed too much background knowledge ๐Ÿ˜ซ
Pro tip: Use ChatGOT AI to โ€˜translateโ€™ jargon in real-time! My current go-to lets you:

โœ… Explain concepts as a beginner (e.g. โ€˜Whatโ€™s SSR really doing?โ€™)
โœ… Fix Python errors in plain English
โœ… Draft READMEs/project docs when youโ€™re stuck
Huge for reducing early frustration!
