Hi Dev Community! 👋 I’m currently pushing myself through a rigorous journey to become a Full-stack Developer. I wanted to share my current learning workflow and get some "reality checks" from the experienced devs here. 🏗️ My Current Stack Core: React Data Fetching: TanStack Query Routing: TanStack Router Styling: Tailwind CSS 🧠 My Learning Strategy [Concepts > Copying] 💡 [Real-world Application] 🛠️ [AI as a Peer Reviewer] 🤖 Summarize complex topics that still feel "cloudy." Review my snippets for potential bugs or better ways to refactor. Explain "Why" a certain pattern is better than another. ❓ Questions for the Experts Retention: Is building a completely different project while learning a specific course a good way to keep knowledge, or does it slow down progress too much? The AI Trap: What should I watch out for when using AI for code reviews so I don't become too dependent on it? Roadmap Advice: After getting comfortable with TanStack Query/Router, what should be my next logical step for a DMS-style project? (Auth? Complex Forms? Drag & Drop?) Current Progress: [x] Modern JavaScript Fundamentals [x] Tailwind CSS from scratch [ ] React Deep Dive (In Progress...) [ ] Next.js (Upcoming) I’m working hard every single day to make this career transition. Any feedback, encouragement, or "tough love" advice is welcome!
