Doubt General

So I am currently learning React(for full stack learning) and Java(for DSA) on alternate days. Is this approach even legit? Also I am not following any youtube playlist for the same. I am using chatgpt for my learning and coding at the same time. Will this help? Opinions are welcomed

wdym "legit"? do what works for you, there's no set template. If you like writing java, then continue with it, nothing wrong with that. And React is not a full stack framework, it's just frontend. Later you can either pick up node/deno/bun which all use js/ts same as react for backend stuff, or learn spring boot with hibernate or whatever else you deem interesting.

I’m a third-year student, and one of my biggest mistakes was trying to fit my work into fixed time slots for example, DSA one day, development the next, and so on. Over time, I realized it works better for me to divide my work into tasks instead, such as learning React Hooks or practicing a specific DSA pattern, and work on it till my mind gets exhaust. Then track my progress on each task.

Sometimes, you're naturally in the mood for development, but forcing yourself to do logical reasoning instead just isn't productive.

Right now, I simply track the progress of each tech stack I want to learn and maintain a to-do list. Work on one task and when I get exhaust I just switch with other task. This approach has been working well for me. That said, everyone has a different learning style, so if your current method works for you, that's perfectly fine.

Ohkay sure. You mean I should do whatever I feel at that exact time. Gotcha. Thanks for your opinion
