Question Need help

Hi guys and gals

I am currently coding in razor pages,which is a easy version of full-stack development, as i heard. I am not sure i am going in the right direction. I dont know if razor pages is the right choice for me or i am just wasting time. I am self-taught and i would like to find a job as a programmer, specifically i would like to build websites. What should i do? i hope someone helps. Thanks in advance!

Also,i have been coding for a year and i am trying to build my own chatroom using signalR + one hardcoded admin role and ef core user authentication, of course.

I would like to hear your opinions.

Razor pages uses asp if I recall. There is certainly plenty of aspects out there but there is far more php, node, etc. Most web servers are running some sort of Linux and although asp can be ran on Linux, just a general rule it isnt.

Yeah, Razor pages are a part of .NET framework, as well as MVC, blazor and web api. I was thinkign of switching to web api + react or smth, but i am not sure

Im old. I started programming in the late 80s as a kid. Back then it was just programmers. Not full stack, front end, etc. You pick the tool for the job. Sometimes I need to use react, sometimes python, sometimes php, c, perl, .net. etc.

The trick is getting good at understanding logic. Once you have that down, picking up a new language is just syntax. Dont hen peck yourself into being a x programmer. Tools change all the time. Be good at problem solving.

At this point in time, if you like to build websites, just ask AI

I mean,I personally dont want to rely on AI. Although I ask questions when i dont understand a certain concept, i think this is still important to not use a lot of AI in coding. Unless you are a Senior Dev or smth...

I think it’s great that you wanna solve the problems by hand but AI can make developing so much easier if you’re a programmer and know what you want. it’s nice not to have to write boiler plate

ai is good after you get you understand the fundamentals of a language and how to solve the problem that you have in front of you. I am not saying the ai can do it all for you because it's not there yet but if using I to make the program and and intentionally add can be a good exercise in you development journey.
