Hello,
Apologies for the somewhat cheesy title, I am really not good at writing stuff, what I am good at is JavaScript/TypeScript.
I see new programmers going through Imposter Syndrome everyday and thought if I can make even 0.1% difference then it's worth it, So If any of the group members here need any JS help or guidance, Feel free to comment or personally DM me, and I will try my best to answer and help.
I am not selling anything, I do not own any course, any membership site etc.. just want to help group members. Not doing this for karma or upvotes either, feel free to downvote, upvote or whatever, just want to share the little knowledge I have with the willing.
About Me: I am self taught freelance web developer with experience in FullStack Javascript and typescript, has built many projects for international clients in my freelancing carrier.
My Tech Stack is MERN and SERN (S for SQL).
That's pretty much all, thank you for reading :)
EDIT: So majority of questions here in the comments and in my DMs were about one topic
>What do i have do to be ready to build projects?
or
>I keep watching videos and tuts but when i set to build a project, i feel lost, what should i do?
You get the idea,
so today i got a notification from youtube about a video on this same topic, and to be really really honest, it was THE most accurate video on this topic i have ever watched... the things he explain in the video, that is exactly what i did to be at this stage where i can literally build anything my clients demand from me.

Have fun.
Hello there, total newbie here! I decided to learn the basics of coding about a month ago. The language that I choose to start with was Python, because I saw many people claimining that it was the easiest language for people who had never coded before to pick up. So I enrolled myself into an Udemy course "Python for beginners".
Back when I did that, I had no idea about the differences between front-end and back-end development. Now that I'm clear about, I've decided that I want to become a web developer, so I ran into "The Odin Project", and discovered that they teach Javascript, alogside Nodejs in their curriculum, and I heard that js is essential if you want to become a web developer. Should I drop the Python course and follow The Odin Project's curriculum, instead?

The author starts from the very beginning, with gathering client stories, and steps through a full Agile workflow, from kanban board to CI/CD to finished product, using outside-in TDD each step of the way. He talks in depth about why and how to use the outside-in approach, while integrating instead of abandoning unit tests. At the end there's a "where to go from here" with useful recommendations, and he's got a Gitter set up and appears to be responsive on it. It's fantastic. I can't believe it's free.
Edit: when I mean GOOD I mean even just the basics. I'm still confused with the for loop for godsakes and it's been 2 months. Like I feel like I don't have a good grasp on the basics.
Edit 2: I come from food service and I have comprehension issues along with ADHD, but I'm still pushing forward
I know that this is probably a redundant post as others may have asked the same thing, but I am wondering should I be good at JavaScript now that I've been learning it for 2 months. I feel like I barely understand anything. I'm about to go on the Odin Project because I'm tired of tutorials and I want to get out of tutorial hell. I feel like I'm not quite learning anything and I hear that TOP doesn't hold your hand. I need that.
