As a backend who finally bit the bullet and started learning react a few months ago, my #1 learning resource has been ChatGPT.

I can tell it what I want it to do, iterate on the idea and see how it changes. After I did that a few times I was able to tinker myself on the project and again ask ChatGPT how to improve the code.

Perhaps it’s just my learning style, but it has been really refreshing experience to learn with something(someone).

Do beginners find these type of big list of resources and roadmaps helpful? As someone who's been in the industry for a long time and with several years of FE experience, if someone had shown me this when I was trying to get into FE, I would have found it overwhelming, and anxiety-inducing. I can see how resources like this can give you a lay of the land and give you an idea for how a particular technology fits into the big picture, but beyond that I don't know how useful they are in guiding your learning path. I can also say that not only is it not necessary to know everything in those roadmaps to reach an advanced level of proficiency, just because you are familiar with a bunch of different technologies doesn't mean you're an expert.

When I'm studying a new subject I need guidance rather than a fire-hose of links to resources, but that may just be me.

Maybe it's simpler to learn quantum physics from scratch.

Lists of things are not a particularly good fit for Show HN and really not for HN in general. Some recent moderator comments explaining it:

Anybody know any good Android tutorials?

(One that explains why every step is necessary, and what exactly it does in greater detail, as well as the underlying structures. YT tutorials are a bit outdated and are bad at explaining details.)

I'd like to see resources on how to many my front-end less bland. I know how to make it functional. I know I can always use a template, but that's mostly only for the landing page.

Not a frontend engineer, but wondering whether svelte is a more promising start for beginners instead of nextjs and other react based frameworks?

Awesome. Something similar for backend development would be great.
