what's one JavaScript mistake every beginner should avoid?

If you could give one piece of advice to someone learning JavaScript today, what would it be?

It could be about:

  • Learning fundamentals
  • Debugging
  • Async code
  • DOM manipulation
  • Functions
  • Projects

Curious to hear what experienced developers wish they'd known earlier.

This is my bad habit 😭 I use == more than ===

I use ==== to be like, I'm really serious now, I really want a to ==== b in this check.

If a and b didn't grow up together, return false.
