I'd learn VHDL or C, golang or rust.
I think something with an easy learning curve like web, gets harder before it get's interesting.
A real language starts hard and stays that way.
and there's always fresh blood nipping at your heels in web, and you'll get frustrated at frameworks and not being able to upgrade the latest or greatest.
if you design for embedded or a game (something indie) you can start a fresh with new libraries and new outlook.
in web you'll encounter technical debt more quickly.
If you want to do web anyway, I suggest coding with other stuff in your spare time.
- becomethrow 10y agoI dont think web is the best way to go for most people either, its certainly not what i would do, though it does seem easy on the surface, i suspect getting a junior webdev role involves more than knowing how to write a header and title in html and maybe a few css stylesheets. What do you think about backend dev, or devops type roles? would you expect them to start in frontend and move towards backend as they get experience, or should they start out from scratch and jump into SQL and python/java/ruby? Or would mobile development be the way to go? learn swift or java and jump into creating some popular app clones in your github?
- jlebrech 10y agotry ios or android, there's less cruft and actual code. you won't have to context switch as much and you can focus on what you're learning.
