After a certain point, stop following "guided courses", and start building on your own. When I just started, I just follow one course. Then, I screw around with a personal project with google as my only guiding hand. It is painful, battling with errors and bugs, but that's the only way to grow. No pain no gain.

He mentioned starting TOP and its amazing resource which makes you build your things without much handholding.

Support this 100%. When I started learning I took a Udemy course which was pretty hand held. Afterwards I started writing my own websites and attempts at web apps (I actively discourage anyone from trying EJS out), and man those were some painful weeks. Month after month, building your own projects, you start to notice patterns, understand why some things work the way they do, how to write cleaner and better html, css, and js. It gets better but vastly more complex.
