Thank you so much for the wonderful advice! It's so refreshing to see humans act and be human-- helping each other despite not knowing each other.

For context, I've been stuck in tutorial hell for years! Part of it can be blamed on my ADHD, which is a serious disability if you want to finish any task. Still, I've been trying to make inroads at it... I've been reading several books at the same time, but stuck on chapter 3 or 4 in each. Then I begin looking for other books until I hit a block in it--then process restarts again.

You're right that LLMs do help a lot. I think I made more progress in the last six months than the past pre-LLM two years.

Thanks and kinds regards.

Thank you for sharing your story. Actually I didn't read any physical books to learn js and css, I learned both of them online and practicing them in my hobby projects, practicing is the only way that helps me finally grasp concepts of a programming/language and improve my coding skills using that specific language. I started learned css and js 17 years ago on https://www.w3schools.com, I decided to learn css just because I found it was so cool you can change the style of your website completely by replacing your css file with a different one. But later I used Java more frequently than other languages for 5 years due to my job need, and naturally I almost forgot all what I learned about js and css skill. It was around 2013/14 that js picked up my interest again due to the hit of nodejs at that time, so I turned to online to learn js again, this time learned it on https://javascript.info, yeah there are many resources to learning things, maybe nowadays people prefer LLMs, it's totally fine, just find the one that suits you. But remember you don't need to finish all those topics or concepts before you start your own project. Practices make your skill better if not perfect. Use those resources as references, you don't have to learn it chapter by chapter, everyone has different learning style. Programming is a long journey (and what any things else are not?), let your passion guides you, let you interest/hobby be your best teacher :) Best wishes ~
