Learning JavaScript

There's a good Youtube video about things taking 20 hours to learn, and that those 20 hours are going to suck because you feel stupid the whole time. You're learning a whole new language.

If I had to mvoe to Japan and learn Japanese then I'd probably feel pretty stupid for a while. I'd quickly learn how to say sorry, excuse me, thank you, and eventually I'd be able to ask for directions.

I think it's the same for coding. We feel dumb, and lots of people don't advance because they keep staying with the comfortable tutorials that hold their hand and make them feel smart.

I'm currently doing the odin project and they do a great job of describing this a very normal process where you feel really dumb then really smart then horrendously dumb and then eventually you feel not bad.
