Anybody on the road of learning JavaScript wanting to make a group together?

Hi all!

I am learning JavaScript and web development, and while i really like this road, i sometimes feel a bit alone following online courses and i think adding new brains would definetely help us to grow better, would anyone like to join and make a group where we share, learn and grow together?

I feel like we need to build a better web after all this Reddit thing, why not start together from the fundamentals?

We can do this on Telegram!

  • So I have started doing this with learning new languages / frameworks: Work with your editor on one side, and GPT-4 on the other side. Every time you're even a little unsure about what to do, ask your question to GPT (always pasting copiously from your existing code -- it's shockingly good at understanding and writing code, but it's not the best at maintaining state and context of what's going on). I've been working with Javascript and Python both for years, and done real projects in both of them, but doing the GPT method for the last few months has taught me more about idiomatic / concise and proper use of those languages than I think any other method I can imagine. Basically what it's taught me is that I was writing C code in every language I came in contact with, and I think I'm somewhat on the road to fixing that behavior now.

    Also, just in terms of getting things done quickly and painlessly, you can get good at having it generate massive chunks of functionality for you. You still have to have the overall design of the program in your mind and know what you're doing (as it's definitely not perfect, and it can't keep up with details once things grow beyond a certain scale), but at pure time spent dicking around with syntax / changing an interface and going around updating everything / figuring out how to do small tasks in an unfamiliar language, it's a godsend. It lets you preserve your mental energy and focus your attention on the overall design as opposed to spending the whole morning trying to get your function to read a JSON file or something.
