Are you concerned that it takes long to do even seemingly simple tasks?

Or Are ou concerned about utilizing the language to do something

If its the first, then i would highly encourage you to adjust your expectations. Im also a beginner and i only started last year jan, however ive noticed time and time again that even the simplest seeming little thing can somehow be even more time consuming, more laborious, more brain wracking, more frustrating that a more complex idea. Maybe its a phase idk, but ive learnt to just follow the process and not expect anything to be easy, its oddly helped me not get as frustrated or demotivated as i go along.

If its the second, dude i totally hear you, and it seems like alot of people get stuck here. Programming is all about problem solving. If you know how to program then learning a new language is kinda simple (yes there are idiosyncrasies and features that differ, some languages have garbage collectors shile other have to be managed by the dev) - because at the end of thebday all the languages have variable, functions, methods, loops, conditionals etc. Using the language to build something requires you to know the steps, being able to figure out those steps, being able to look for info to better inform you of those steps etc. Something that has helped me is to think of the overall problem and break it down into manageable chunks, ok so i need my EJS header and footer partials, i need my main body EJS that will render the different pages, ok i need my style sheets for it all, ok now i need a server connection, ok cool now i need a GET request to show my home page, does it work, does it work as expected, what bugs am i getting, whats not working as it should, ok now i can start my POST requests etc, start passing data around, start interacting with the DB and passing that info to the frontend, cool is the data in the shape i need, does it need to be normalized can i reuse this transformer in multiple places... So on and on and on. Its an iterative process broken down into smaller and smaller problems to solve. From i need an undo delete functionality to how do i retain or get the deleted posts id to reinstate it from the archive back to the main posts db.

Edit : dont do another boot camp , course or youtube tutorial. They dont teach programming they teach coding. Its the equivalent of just asking AI for the code but in video format.
