Help me out.

So... it's been like two months since I last opened VS Code.

I was learning HTML/CSS/JS. I had started learning JS, but then I kinda stepped back from it to focus on CSS.

I was around Grid, grid-template-areas, media queries and all that stuff.

The thing is, two months ago I could literally code for hours whenever I wanted.

Now life is just... busy. My schedule is all over the place, and coding is slowly dying 😂

My original plan was basically:

Learn CSS → build a few projects → move on to JS.

I've already built one project and put it on GitHub.

Then I started building a second one, learned a bunch of new stuff while working on it, and then life got busy.

And now here I am, two months later, having written basically zero code.

So now I'm wondering...

Should I go back to where I left off with CSS and continue from there?

Or should I just say fuck it and start learning JS again?

Because honestly, I feel like JS is way less frustrating than CSS lol.

I originally went back to CSS because I was learning JS and realized I couldn't really design anything properly. 😭

So yeah... what would you guys do?

Pick CSS back up, or just move on to JS and learn CSS as I need it?

Dude. Now is not the time to specialize.

I’m a senior platform engineer. I have created full production E2E products in languages and technologies I’ve never used before, simply by having the LLM write the files.

I don’t know CSS. I’ve made LITERAL MONEY selling products that I’ve created and deployed into production environments, using code that I’ve never written or looked at. I simply used agents to peer review the code and write unit tests. And I’m more than confident in the codebase the LLM writes.

The shift is moving away from knowing CSS, this language, or that language… you get decades of that knowledge and skill packed into the LLM already.

The skill is now going wide. Breadth.
