ok this is going to be a vague post. cause everyone has a different learning journey. was watching chris sean, a self taught web dev on youtube yesterday. he said, all companies want to hire the best web dev, but those are expensive, so what they are looking for is someone with the potential to be a good one. also recommended learning react.js. yays because i also incline to learn that frontend framework. and include being able to recreate major companies websites as your portfolio, which i dont think i be able to. his channel is not a learning content. its more social. where you get people dishing out the best ways to learn code in the comments section, in addition to the author's two cents. the author is not a poseur who flings around difficult vocab and acts cerebral. its kinda of scary now, my life. im not applying jobs because i feel that i have nothing to offer, im learning a skill which i dont think i be able to attain deep skill in, and the industry is not a stabl
