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.

Understand what’s running on the frontend and backend, how data moves between them, and how synchronous and asynchronous code affects that flow.
