#265 - Why JavaScript Feels So Hard To Learn: You're Making One of These Mistakes
About this episode
When I first tried to learn JavaScript, I hated it so much I told myself I’d just be an HTML and CSS developer and never touch it again.
Of course, my first job threw me straight into Angular, C#, SQL, and a mountain of JavaScript I wasn’t ready for.
In this episode, I share what made JavaScript so brutal for me (and for almost every student I’ve worked with), the mistakes that keep people stuck, and the science-backed strategies that actually helped me go from totally lost to confident.
If you’ve been banging your head against for loops, callbacks, or just “getting it,” this one’s for you.
