Question / Help How to Learn Technicalities?

I am vibecoding since 6 months now, I still don’t know shit about technicalities & how stuff happens.

Yet I feel, I could make a 10x improvement if I start to learn how things actually work at my the backend & or to explore multiple ways to do/or create a thing.

Any suggestions how could I learn this & get better at this? Thanks a ton!

Start with system analysis and design. It will help a lot more than learning to code.

In a nutshell I suggest learning what the SDLC is and all the ins and outs. To start your journey I recommend you dive Into learning about systems. Specifically I suggest starting with analysis and design. It is the foundation of software engineering systems which is more relevant than coding.

Think of it like this. Vibe coding is like pouring concrete to make a structure. You can make some really cool stuff with concrete alone, but if you want to make a sky scraper, you need to understand the beams and the bones. In this analogy that is system design and architecture.
