Are you more concerned with getting a “general” understanding of a lesson and just jumping back and forth between them when you get to something challenging, or are you a “thorough” learner and try to understand everything as best as possible with each lesson?
I was just watching a YT video about a persons experience in the coding career field and he said something that got me thinking: it’s not necessarily about what you know, its about how fast you can learn and adapt to new languages. I’ve reflected on how I have been completing these courses so far and I think I’ve been doing a disservice to myself, I can easily lose hours and hours to a single lesson trying to understand it instead of just getting the gist of it and breezing through, and from what I understand this is not a feasible ethic in the professional environment where you are encouraged to use any available resources to refresh your memory on a thing and reference preexisting material. So if you’re applying to a company that uses language you’re not experienced with you might need to learn it on the fly.
My OTHER concern is my pace at learning. I recall reading somewhere the average time to complete the entire course is about ~9 months to a year, but I just got started mid-December and I’m just now getting to ES6. This may also be due to my more magnified approach at learning.
