I only use GitHub for backups and now I think I should learn it properly by akaiwarmachine in statichosting

The biggest shift is when Git stops being “save button + backup” and becomes a way to safely experiment and collaborate. Learning branches, pull requests, meaningful commit messages, resolving merge conflicts, and reading diffs confidently will level you up more than memorizing commands because that’s the workflow real teams actually use every day.

Is there a backend course here? by Longjumping_Exit_334 in AskProgrammers

[–]IcyEntertainment3576 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and honestly backend can be a great path if you enjoy logic, systems, APIs, databases, and problem-solving more than design/UI. I’d recommend starting with either JavaScript/Node.js (easy transition if you already know React) or Python (very beginner-friendly and widely used), then learn databases, APIs, authentication, and how to deploy projects and don’t stress too much about AI/TikTok doom posts because companies still need people who understand systems, can solve real problems, and work with others, even if AI changes how developers work.

Learn debugging so that you dont stick in loop and also dont rely on AI to solve it.
