#265 - Why JavaScript Feels So Hard To Learn: You're Making One of These Mistakes

When I first tried to learn JavaScript, I hated it so much I told myself I’d just be an HTML and CSS developer and never touch it again. Of course, my first job threw me straight into Angular, C#, SQL, and a mountain of JavaScript I wasn’t ready for. In this episode, I share what made JavaScript so brutal for me (and for almost every student I’ve worked with), the mistakes that keep people stuck, and the science-backed strategies that actually helped me go from totally lost to confident. If you’ve been banging your head against for loops, callbacks, or just “getting it,” this one’s for you.
