Everything I wish I knew. The exact advice I would give myself to become a self-taught software engineer as fast as possible. This is the framework I would use to speed up the learning process to actually get a job building web applications. Your journey may be different so don’t view this as rigid. Adapt it to your situation. For example, the frameworks you choose could be based on the most in demand tools where you live which could be different from where I live. That could mean learning Angular even though my preference is React. Best wishes.
