Started with JavaScript.info, then did the new React docs. After that, built 3 projects for my portfolio.
Scrimba is amazing if you want interactive tutorials. But honestly, the best way is just building things.
Want to learn React properly this year. There are so many options – paid courses (Udemy, Scrimba), free tutorials (YouTube), or just reading docs.
Which path actually works best? I learn best by building real projects but need some structure.
Have one, use it mainly for timers and alarms while coding. Also nice to see if a message is urgent without checking phone.
The standing reminders actually work – I do stand more. Worth it for that alone?
Probably not. Save your money for other dev stuff.
Used both. Docker is more mature with better tooling. Podman is better for security (no root daemon).
If learning for work – go Docker. If setting up personal stuff – Podman is fine.
In 2026, most companies still use Docker. Learn that first.

Want to switch from Chrome for privacy reasons. Been hearing good things about Brave and Firefox.
Main concerns: privacy, battery life, extensions support. Also need it to work well with Google stuff (Docs, Drive) for work.
Worth it if you use it daily for work.
The GPT-4 model is noticeably better for coding and complex reasoning. The faster responses and no rate limits matter when you are on a deadline.
Free version is fine for casual use. If it saves you 5+ hours/week, its worth the $20.
Started with Mint, moved to Ubuntu, finally settled on Arch 2 years later.
My advice: Ubuntu first for 6-12 months. Learn the fundamentals. Then try Arch on a separate machine or VM to learn how things work under the hood.
Skip Arch if you want to learn programming – it becomes a hobby itself.

Using free ChatGPT for a while but seeing lots of people hyping Plus. $20/mo is not cheap for me.
Does the GPT-4 access and plugins actually make a difference? Or is free version good enough?
