This is a post I wish I read when I was a junior developer. If you get these foundation steps wrong you could end up wasting months or even years and worst-case scenario you give up on your journey to learn to code.

From my experience, learning any skill, including learning to code requires four main ingredients, namely: dedication, time, persistence and finally a direction.
