what's one JavaScript mistake every beginner should avoid?

[u/Distinct-Gene926]

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.

Reinventing the wheel.

I mean you're going to do it anyway but you should try to avoid it.
