In the micro keep practicing. Make real things. Deploy them. Transform tutorials into something completely different.
In the macro determine what it is that you want to do, front end, back end, game, mobile, data, enterprise. Choose languages and frameworks that are used in the direction that you want to go.

Early on it is really hard. There is a lot that you need to learn in order to get started. Sometimes its best to go through a curriculum in order to get a feel of everything, but don't let yourself get stuck in a tutorial loop.
It is now easier than ever to setup your own domain and ship a site. Services like netlify and vercel can build your site, or even drag and drop your site into production. If you setup some sort of side project with what you know, you will begin to form questions that might be answered in your curriculum. Things that may have gotten brushed over will turn into "ah ha" 💡 moments.
Thanks, I hope I don't get stuck in a tutorial loop, at least this is not something I am planning.
Maybe after the first go, I'll have a better understanding of what can I make with which language & what interests me more.
Umm, I want to make a website from scratch using whatever I have learned in my HTML & CSS tutorials & I am looking forward to a lot of "ah ha" moments. :)

I will be making a portfolio profile by the end of this month, I'm looking forward to learning to make more things.
I was hoping to complete the entire curriculum of freeCodeCamp & then see where my interest lies.
Do you think it is a bad strategy?
