You can be distracted with other responsibilities.

It may take time and learn slowly.

HTML and CSS is visual. So start with HTML and CSS
3. Nico, How did you start to code?

I had a goal of something: like hacking my mom’s computer

Goal such as How to make virus with Python.

Copying website: “I want to learn how they put this square on top of this image”
-
I spent so much time on Inspecting code.
4. Nico, How do you learn to code? with documentation?
-
yes. Reading documentation helps.
-
ReactJS is good documentation, but graphene of Django doesn’t help
-
Reading documentation first, read example. Before you buy any books or course.
5. A time-efficient way of learning to code?
-
You need mentor. For example, it is 2019. You shouldn’t learn JQuery
-
Useless, nobody uses it, doesn’t work: These are useless.
6. How to review?

You need to move on to project that is useful. Make a product to yourself.

Send me a link with new product.
-
Or send me a link with new feature added on to cloning project: like changing password, responsive feature
7. I am a front-end engineer, should I study back-end?

8. I am a back-end engineer, should I study front-end?

JavaScript community is funnn

12. future of web dev
-
I believe machines will take away jobs of frontend developers that do not specialize in something.
-
Doing HTML, CSS is of course not enough.
-
For example, “Supernova” generates React code from sketch for you.
-
That’s going to push us to become full stack.
-
Future web development will be automated.
-
Serverless is going to take away a lot: API Gateway, Lambda… It is going to take lots of backend jobs as well.
-
We are pushing to full stack. ex: PRISMA
13. Open source project for junior programmer?
-
It is a very good thing.
-
It depends on what you do. Look for libraries, and see what they do.
-
For example, if you are learning JS, read Redux source code. It is not big as you think.
-
Another example will be Hooks source code.

Firebase, Prisma, if they make your project be done faster, do it.
16. flutter?

Flutter is amazing.
