I’m at the point now where I can start working on these mini JavaScript projects. I have the same paralyzing fear I had with The Apple Clone and Findtrend a few months back. Stepping outside of the classroom to create logic from scratch is a scary feeling. It’s up there with merging onto the highway for the first time as a student driver. In a weird way I’m looking forward to getting stuck for days and brute forcing my learning 💪🏻

I've submitted the form to unlock React.

Hi! My todo app is done I reckon. I just learned about keyframes that's why there're animated gradients, was experimenting. Only thing I haven't done is add saving to local storage. https://codepen.io/Martyyya/pen/qEOzLNX

At what point in the program do we graduate to using those cutting edge AI tools to speed up the processes like generating the basic structure and the first draft of the app you're going to build and then customize the design and functionality to your requirements and make it your own? Right now I'm using them only as a replacement for google search (although I'd end up reading the answers in stackoverflow a lot of times 😅) cuz I'm afraid of the two things. 1) Relying on them so much I miss out on the opportunity to learn the fundamentals and gain the necessary problem solving skills. 2) Hand coding every little thing to the point I miss out on the opportunity to leverage those tools and stay behind the curve. What about you?

Thought to ask if any of you had a memorable kata that either taught you something useful or was just fun to solve. Personally I've started trying out some 5 and 4 kyu ones and those can get really fun sometimes.
