Yes - absolutely. Do every single course in the beginners, and then casually watch the Professional level. I've been a web dev for a few years and the Professional level side blew me away with how little I knew.

But the point being, by pushing yourself to the professional level, all the beginner stuff and the WHY should start clicking. Which should make it easier to own web dev projects you obtain from freelancing. (freelancing requires a LOT more skills than people expect)

Also supplement your learning with Freecodecamp.

I got a course for freelance! I know it requires a lot of sales skills besides the technical stuff. But I appreciate your review. You stating that you're in the field for some years and the professional stuff still had new things you never heard of is a great motivation for me.

Ah sorry. To clarify, I mean that when you're working freelance -- you're expected to be more well rounded than a junior position. A junior's role may be to fix code or make something work under the wing of a more experienced developer. A freelancer may be in charge of the full project -- from architecture, to server setup, to deployment -- potentially by themselves.
