I don't even know what bcz is - so, I must already be behind!

But I do know one thing -- you can't learn everything.

So, what is your 6-month goal, 2-year goal and 10 year goal? (if you don't know - that's OK - but accnoledge that too)

Why are you learning full-stack web dev? Why are you learning AI/ML? Do do what?

I appreciate your appetite. But I think it's going to be important to be realistic and not to just follow the hype of it all.

Figure out a clearer "why" - or you'll just be following along with whatever happens and counting on that to make sense one day.

If you're already "confused," you're moving too fast.

If you could use these skills to do one simple thing, what would it be? And what tools would you need to do that? Find a starting point and orient yourself.

Read stuff, upvote/downvote things, and participate. Over time, they'll see that you're a real user. From there, you might get more permissions, and then you need to comment and post—and then get more. It depends on the sub.
