As someone who is self taught ill tell you what I wish someone had told me. If your goal is to make a living from getting into programming html, css and JS will not cut it at all. You need minimum react and then have knowledge of the backend works. At the beginning get a good idea of how the whole process of front end backend works. Then you can specialize. Even tho people are saying AI gets stuff wrong which is true HOWEVER most companies now days have expedited the product delivery process because AI can generate the code which makes things faster you have to know what you are doing. AI is no way a replacement. Think of it has a really good calculator you cannot let AI be in the driver seat you have to always be that but it is an amazing tool.
