It sounds like you might be getting stuck in what some call "Tutorial Hell" where you bounce tutorial to tutorial forever.

I think a portfolio site is a really great way to start breaking out of that cycle, and portfolio sites are a great place to get creative because it's a place that's all yours to own and experiment with!

You don't even need to build the site from scratch - you mention liking React, so it could be worth trying out Gatsby or Next.js to create a static site and maybe save you some time, or at least give you some fun things to learn along the way!

Thank you Tyler, I appreciate the feedback, I've been mulling over the idea but wasnt sure if it was worth it but I know I would enjoy it. I can definitely relate to tutorial hell, I've been a regular for a while now but I'm positive that will change in the next 12 months... somehow
