I had an absolutely wonderful conversation with Yonatan and one in which I was quite surprised at how effectively we could debug what I actually wanted and find interesting. As an entrepreneur, it was especially refreshing to get a very no-BS, “consultancy”-like therapy session and I can see this approach help an immeasurable amount for many people. And for that matter, I’d like to learn it myself! 😊
TL;DR: The best way I know to skill up in web development is by working with someone who can give me good feedback and mentoring.
What I don’t recommend: Trying to learn it from a specific book-or-something (unless there’s a really good one that I’ve never heard about) (or unless you never made even one fullstack app, in which case I’d use a non-human guide to do that).
What I see when I’m a mentor, watching someone code or debug or so (when I am much more experienced than them) : It seems like they’re focusing on something totally-wrong, like learning about aws and setting up a new type of DB, when they could just do some other trick (like remove 90% of the data from the DB on their laptop) which would allow them to debug locally. I can’t imagine a book that would teach to notice things like that.
What I feel like when I’m a mentee, and someone else is helping me improve in web dev (I remember this because I had a lot of mentorship) : I feel like web-dev has lots of “knowledge passed in word of mouth” that I could just never guess, like this, and if I’d try to go over all of it—it would take forever and I’d get lost, so I need someone from the “inner circle” to tell me what matters.
Yonatan can probably help you figure out what to use that skillset for and your goals with it but web development process nuances are available from many other resources, e.g:
The above video uses a tech stack with Svelte, Postgres, Vercel, and Gitpod and represents the favorite programming paradigm for many modern developers.

Have you found an answers on web development process nuances? I’ve read some staff like this: https://jaydevs.com/web-app-development-a-detailed-guide/ in the internet, but I still have some questions. Will Yonatan help me?
