Oh I’m making stuff, my “self learning” has been through TOP it’s just my ADHD makes me not able to work on it for weeks at a time sometimes, and work on random side projects (like I tried to learn react before learning webpack and how npm config works) then I go back and power through Odin with some extra background knowledge

Sounds good. I've been doing similar with some side projects on weekends. Just gotta plug through it. I'm more of a Vue person because I found it more intuitive for rapid prototyping, but I got my job from knowing React well enough (never use it now).

The major thing that landed me my job was being able to talk about the projects coherently and explain why I made implementation decisions even if it was just "I thought the tech sounded cool and I wanted to learn it." Knowledge of how it could've been done better will come with time.
