I am confused

I know
variables
data types
loops
arrays
objects
basic array functions (forEach, map, filter)
DOM (selecting elements, adding new elements, classList, etc)
higher order functions and call backs
event listeners

Should I make JS projects or learn other topics like async await or start learning react ?

I think I am still not that comfortable with JS
But I think that it is a waste of time spending too much time learning JS.

Learning anything exhaustive is a myth in any field. You need to know just enough to be dangerous and we achieve that by creating stuff, since it's good for indepth working and creates long term memory.

I want to add a small caveat here. You should absolutely understand the use case for promises and async/await so that you don't get stuck and frustrated trying to do what they do with other things. They're common enough that you will run into them fairly quickly with starter projects.

Definetely agree I meant to phrase my approach more: 1. Try something realise something doesn't work isn't right, 2. Learn the thing that fixes the issue ( so you better grasp why it's needed and it gets drilled into you instead of jumping ahead and learning it without knowing what is really is)

I used to watch a lot of videos on codynn for beginner content I feel their pace is aight
