Hi jventura, I completely agree with you with the exception of one axiom: efficiency is more important than time spent when learning. If you read the article, I only mention the best way to get your first programming job with the least amount of friction. It takes years and years to truly develop your skills, but I have met many people that get discouraged because of the little progress they seem to be making when they are starting off (especially when they don't come from a computer science background like yourself). I wanted to write this article to show someone how it might be done in order to get those positive reinforcements as soon as possible so they become good developers in the future and they want to put in those years of practice (but efficiently) to get truly proficient.

Hi evantai, please don't get me wrong as I'm really glad that you could figure out a better deal for you. My comment should be seen more as a kind-of rant because, in one hand, there's lots of instability on the web dev subfield, on the other hand, there's too much people without real skills entering the job market and these things are interconnected. On a final note, my comment only shows to me that I should think about moving along to another CS subfield, as web dev is currently too "hot" and plagued by low quality tooling and practices. All in all, it is me that is wrong, not you, as I've probably lost too much time learning only to be doing web dev.. :)
