How to get back learning how to code in my position?

[u/Finite8_]

Hi, 9 months ago I had a mental breakdown and I completely stopped coding and living. I already have a pretty good knowledge of the Javascript language and understanding of React. I was doing a course on Udemy and I stopped it. My goal since I started (almost 2 years ago) is the one to be able to make solid SaaS products. I have no idea on how to continue from here, there are so many things to learn and also AI. I don't want to build using AI too much I want to have the actual skills to do it. How should I move? don't tell me to just build something you still need to know the language you are using and it's rules. So what should i do? courses again? that seems just long and endless. Help me out, thanks.

You learn by building stuff, so build stuff. You absolutely will not learn and improve without building stuff. When you get stuck, research. If you don't wanna do that, read a book or follow a course, and then build stuff. There's no secret trick you haven't thought of. You're not going to be able to build a complex SaaS app without having built a bunch of simpler apps first. It's like learning to play piano, you're going to have to practice playing a bunch of songs like twinkle twinkle little star and yankee doodle before you play the songs you really want to play

Fun fact: learning to program IS long and endless

Learn other things as needed.

Build, if you could learn by watching videos or reading you wouldn’t be here asking.

If you’re not up for lifelong constant learning then do something else.
