[7/7] Start by choosing something you want to BUILD. Not something you want to "learn". • A clone of an app you use.• A tool to solve your problem.• A project to impress someone. And work backwards from there.

[6/7] If your only goal is MONEY:. This thread isn't for you. Go seek advice on "how to get FAANG jobs". But if you want to be a PASSIONATE developer who builds incredible things. .

[5/7] The secret of developers who "learn fast":. They don't try to "learn everything about React". They build specific things:.• A game calculator.• A landing page for personal project.• An app to track habits. And learn React in the process.

[4/7] How to turn vague aspirations into clear goals. “I want to contribute to open source”.(Vague, no clear outcome). Instead, take this path:. 1. Build a chat server with Deno.(Clear, focused project). 2. Find a WebSocket bug in the docs.(Problem discovered naturally). 3. Fix.

[3/7] The difference between ASPIRATION and GOAL:. Aspiration: "I want to learn React".Goal: "Build a Twitter clone with React". One is vague and infinite. The other has a clear beginning, middle, and END.

[2/7] When did you "learn" React?. At 60% knowledge? 80%? 100%?. These goals are ASPIRATIONS, not objectives. You keep running in circles because you don't know when you've reached the destination.

[1/7] These are the goals EVERY beginner developer sets:. - "I want to become a software engineer".- "I want to learn React".- "I want to improve test coverage".- "I want to contribute to open source". The problem? None have a clear end point.

Backend development is harder than frontend development. That’s why the entry barrier for frontend devs is lower than it is for backend devs.
