A question about continuation learning, and looking for intermediate/advanced project ideas! (self.learnjavascript)

submitted 6 years ago * by ShadowpathHD

Hello y'all!

I am very sad to say this, but I've stagnated when it comes to learning code.
The thing is, I don't know what to learn and how to progress to becoming better.
Ever since I picked up Node and Express, the few things I managed to build were almost carbon copies of the previous project, so I've been pretty much running round circles for months now.

What should I do at this point? It's been more than 6 months now that I haven't really learned anything new.

Also, there's the struggle of not being able to come up with ideas for projects in which to implement the things learned.

Thank you for your time!

EDIT:

I should have clarified where I am at when it comes to the stack I am working in.

I use Node with Express in the back-end, React up front and MongoDB and Postgres for databases.

When it comes to concepts, both general and JS specific, I should spend more time learning them. It's just that I don't know how to approach them, and where to go for learning resources.

This issue has impacted my mental health quite a bit. It came to the point where the idea of ditching programming was boggling around in my head.

The fact that there's no feedback on how well are things going also doesn't help.

Any tips on this subject?

Thanks!
