If you have no experience whatsoever, how do you know what to avoid? I can tell that phind is a great educational tool, but without the proper knowledge it can give you answers you might not know how to cope with, and you need to ask and ask again and again until you get half a convincing answer.

It's like reading exclusively the accepted answer on stackoverflow. There are many reasons why that's wrong: it can be outdated, it might have been upvoted simply by the "wrong" people, etc.

I am honestly very scared by the amount of people that never wrote one line of code and suddenly can "deploy" things. Not because I am afraid for my job, but simply because in any language and framework there are implicit things to learn which take years to master, and suddenly everyone knows how to build a product -> why does it take our engineers so long! Look, here is the code!

Yeah, that kind of "mindset", I am afraid of. Wrong tool in the wrong hands.

As long as you do it for hobby, I wish you all the fun of the world.
