Senior dev here – taught myself vanilla CSS first, then learned Tailwind.
My take: LEARN VANILLA CSS FIRST. Understanding the fundamentals makes Tailwind make sense. If you only learn Tailwind, you wont understand WHY things work.
Once you know CSS, Tailwind is amazing for speed.
Vercel is literally made for beginners. Zero config, auto deploys from Git, free tier is generous.
Railway is great too but more for when you get comfortable. Netlify is similar to Vercel.
Start with Vercel, switch when you hit its limits.
Starting to learn web dev and everyone says VS Code but wondering if there are better options now?
Mainly doing HTML/CSS/JS first, then will move to React. Budget is not an issue.

Priorities: ease of use, pricing, performance for typical web app
Real experience appreciated!
Student here building a portfolio project. Vercel free tier seems popular but what’s the catch? Are there better free options?
Need something simple that just works. Don’t really want to deal with Docker or complex setup.
Bonus if it has free SSL and custom domain support!
