Javascript day 0

There were so many times I wanted to master JavaScript because I wanted to become a proper web designer.

I’ve built many websites with jQuery or JavaScript already, but the way I did them isn’t something I’m proud of.

Before the AI era, I just copied someone else’s code and tweaked it until I got the result I needed. That still works. Actually, it works even better now with AI.

But I still feel like I’m not really good at anything. The work gets done. It’s efficient in some way. But honestly, it’s not fun. I don’t understand much of it, and that bothers me.

Right now, I’m at a point in life where things feel stable. I’ve got some money and time. Not a lot, but enough to stop chasing big paychecks and put more energy into sharpening my craft.

If I don’t do it now, I’m worried I’ll lose all my interest and curiosity in this job. Everything around me is flooded with AI trends, productivity hacks, get-rich-quick advice, and all kinds of noise.

That was a long intro. And no, this isn’t the first time I’ve promised myself I’d finish a JS course, but I want this to be the last time I have to start over from scratch.

Up until now, I’ve always rushed through learning. I forget everything after a few weeks, sometimes even days.

Just a reminder to myself: Take it slow this time.

Like a scientist discovering something exciting.

Look at it from every angle.

Take notes.

Enjoy the process.
