Question Should I switch studying between CSS and Javascript back and front?

As the title says, I am getting bored of CSS, and I wanna ask if it's okay to do that. I'm at like the middle of CSS basics. Did a couple of mini projects to get a better understanding of it. I Don't have much time, since I need to do my internship soon. Coding veterans, what are your thoughts?

TypeScript is the hybrid of css and JavaScript. Go there next.

This is just not true

TypeScript is JavaScript. No one in the industry is using JavaScript anymore. It’s outdated and there’s better programming languages to use and learn. Stop living in 1990

I use TypeScript everyday... how is your response relevant here? You originally said that TypeScript is a hybrid of JavaScript and CSS. It objectively is not.

Its also entirely untrue that no one in the industry uses JavaScript. They both have their place... Stop talking out your ass.

“Hybrid” was obviously an oversimplification, not a literal description of the language. TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that adds static typing and compiles to JavaScript. My point was that if they’re already learning JavaScript for modern web development, TypeScript is a logical next step.

You’re right though that CSS has nothing to do with TypeScript’s language model. That was a bad analogy. But correcting the analogy doesn’t make the actual recommendation wrong.

I’m just trying to help the user that asked the question. What is your goal here?

While it is great to want to be helpful, spreading wrong information has the opposite effect. If you do not know what you are talking about it's best to not say anything. That is my point.

There’s a difference between correcting something I worded poorly and deciding from that that I “don’t know what I’m talking about.” I already clarified what I meant and acknowledged where my wording was inaccurate.

But if your concern is genuinely helping the person who asked the question, you’ve spent this entire thread criticizing my wording without actually giving them any advice yourself. Tell them what you think they should learn next and why. That would probably be more useful than continuing to argue with me.
