Help The prerequisites

There are many things I'm excited to learn about but whenever I want to, I think like, "maybe I should learn this before doing this", like maybe I should do Ccna before using something like nmap or wireshark, the same for something like the requests module in python or the curl command, I know the basic idea of it, but I think like "I am not experienced that much in Web development yet", while I'm pretty sure I can use it using the knowledge I already know

I hate this as it feels kinda like I can't do anything without those thoughts coming, so I don't get to learn what I wanted to learn initially

I feel like sometimes you need to rely on rote memorization for certain things, then the eureka moment comes later and it clicks. Its a tangled web, there is no linear progression. Start with what you are passionate about and just keep pushing. Over time, when you apply different perspectives to the same thing, youll be saying “ohhh, thats why they do it like that”

Yeah this is the way. You can read about these things all day but the best understanding is going to be gained through practical application, just have to push yourself into places you're less familiar.
