It can be a bit overwhelming when first starting out in tech, especially web development as there's always a new flavour of the month javascript framework and new tooling available. Once you get on your feet and choose something you enjoy working with, you find that it gets a lot easier to adapt to different frameworks/languages with experience.

It used to be the case that if you didn't go to university, you'd struggle to find the resources and help you'd need to jump start a tech career, but now there's so much material out there and if you have a question, chances are someone else on stack overflow did too. It's a great time to be in a tech job.

"especially web development as there's always a new flavour of the month javascript framework"

JS is just one example of the pace at which tech moves at, but as you say, it's about getting on your feet and gaining some momentum because once you're in the game, you can begin to move with the frameworks and languages as they evolve.
