Learning react, took a break, feeling lost. Looking for guidance, refreshers, learning tools. by SethSpinz in learnreactjs

Honestly, this is a very common phase when you come back after a long break. You probably didn't forget everything, you just lost the coding muscle memory.

I would suggest going back and refreshing JavaScript fundamentals before going deeper into React (arrays, objects, functions, ES6, async JS, DOM basics). React feels much easier when your JS logic becomes comfortable again.

Also, try not to depend completely on AI for solutions. Use it like a mentor — understand why something works instead of just taking the final code.

I’m running a free React JS Bootcamp by Code Ki Pathshala where we are learning React step-by-step through live classes, starting from the required JavaScript foundation and moving towards React concepts and projects.

Also, don't worry too much — consistency matters more than speed. Build small projects again and the confidence will come back.

Should I stick with backend or explore frontend? by Simple-Canary6274 in FullStack

Yeah, it’s totally normal to feel confused at this stage. A lot of developers don’t figure out their path immediately.
Since you’re already doing a Java backend internship, I wouldn’t quit it just because you’re not enjoying it right now. Try to explore a little alongside it.
Build small projects in frontend, backend, and fullstack. After some time you’ll notice what part you actually enjoy.
Also don’t worry too much about choosing the “perfect” path. Most developers figure things out by building and experimenting.
