@AnxiousADHDGuy That's the thing: those two events were disconnected and they were for two different frameworks. In one case I kept struggling for a month to make a simple demo project because I didn't know any of the internals of the framework and the theory behind how it works, while in the other case (other framework) I first sat down and studied for a few weeks before I attempted a demo project. During the studying time I didn't do any practice. The theory helps a lot.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I believe in theoretical study prior to proof of concept.
At least for me, it takes me a 100 times more time to make a proof of concept the 'quick and easy' way rather than properly studying the theoretical knowledge and then applying it.
For example, it took me one and a half months to build a small website in ReactJS without much prior knowledge. It took me exactly one day performing the same task when I properly had studied all its internals and theoretical knowledge before I started.
If I know what I'm doing, I can easily create; if I don't, then I'm just messing around, looping myself into problems ad infinitum.
