That's perfectly normal, I have felt and still feel like that myself. There is just so much to learn and it is all JavaScript.
Also if you ever need a break from JavaScript remember to try other things.
I am currently learning Android app development and I love it.
Welcome to devRant! 😀 -
@404response even android can be done with javascript, react native lol. js everywhere
-
@moolsbytheway that's true, but I wanted to do it in Java and later learn kotlin

python and modern JS are both pretty cool.
I recommend this path:
backend in python, some lean framework with a focus on handling requests/responses
small, database fed angular/react component, just to get a taste for it's purpose (templating/states). Perhaps something that polls a changing database and displays the changes in real time.
Use a linter (Sublime-Linter for sublime text 3 is pretty great, take the time to learn to configure it)
then go back and try and achieve thee same with vanilla JS and focus on understanding the fundamentals.
If you do a lot of googling and pay attention to the request/response headers & content you should be well on your way to writing good front & backend and your opportunieswill be wide open.
Don't be afraid to rapid prototype in jquery and replace things bit by bit, IF you're already well familiar with jquery. If not, something like underscore JS may have a lot of the same time savers without a lot of the pitfalls -
Oh and fuck IE. Support browsers which abide ES6. (Edge meets this criteria but its...edgy)
-
@unfuckers-inc true, i dont pay attention to obsolete browsers anymore, just make good stuff for the 21th Century
Am I the only one who feels overwhelmed, excited, confused and in an anxiety/desesperation-scene on developing JS base de software.
Don't judge me, I'm a newbie
