Great read, really hit home with me. I've been a web developer for a few years and creating websites and web applications has regularly taken up 60 hours a week for me. I recently bought a really nice new laptop with the intention that I would start creating my own websites on the side to learn the ins and outs of the setting up stage and to practice new languages - only to find I had/have no idea where to start. Thankfully, as you said, I do have some understanding and I also don't envy those that are just starting out. I mean, I create websites on the daily.. but my environment is fully setup at work and I didn't start that repo from scratch. When I went back to school for programming years ago, I had gotten my environment all set up and created a new website within a couple hours based on instructions for an assignment. And now? I'm lost. So many languages and frameworks and tools and errors of things not syncing up with each other and.. maybe too many resources? If that's possible. Thanks for your post!
