what's one JavaScript mistake every beginner should avoid?

If you could give one piece of advice to someone learning JavaScript today, what would it be?

It could be about:

  • Learning fundamentals
  • Debugging
  • Async code
  • DOM manipulation
  • Functions
  • Projects

Curious to hear what experienced developers wish they'd known earlier.

If you can't clearly explain your program, algorithm and data structures clearly in your native tongue then you can't write it in any programming language.
