Great advice!

I would add to focus on one or maybe two thing, if you are following a bootcamp then throw all your free time and energy in it, if you are learning your own way then try to focus on one site or tutorial, there's just too much around internet (sites, bootcamps, tutorials, etc).

That's absolutely correct!

A generic version of your observation is that if you have access to active guidance/mentorship, it's OK to explore. The guide/mentor will help you sharpen your focus and get you unstuck.

When striking out solo, it's best to follow a narrow path lest you get lost in the forest of programming and it's idiosyncrasies.
