Hi everyone!

I’m diving back into frontend development and wow, things have changed! It feels like every time I turn around, there’s a new framework, library, or technique to learn.

Throughout my career, I’ve been a bit of a jack-of-all-trades. I’ve worked in graphic and web design, built WordPress sites, embraced old-school frontend techniques, got involved with online marketing a bit, became design engineer and worked on UX. I even got certified as product owner along the way. But now, I’m aiming to zero in on getting back in the field as a developer.

While I’m excited to upgrade my skills, the sheer volume of choices is overwhelming. Do I focus on React, Angular, or Vue? Should I master TypeScript or stick with JavaScript? And how does AI fit into all of this?

On top of that, imposter syndrome is real for me. I’ve been wondering if I should enroll in some form of official education since I never got a degree. This lack of formal credentials feeds into my self-doubt, despite my substantial experience in the field. Should I go back to school, or would following online courses and tutorials be enough to stay current and boost my confidence.

Balancing all these paths and overcoming self-doubt is tough, but I’m taking it one step at a time, trying to stay focused on my goals. Any tips or resources you recommend for navigating this landscape? Let’s share the journey!
