Great advice, and I've been coding professionally since the late 90s.

Love it, Brian

Stoked you're putting out content like this. You're perspective is one missing in this space. Looking forward to more videos!

Thanks! More on the way…

Great stuff!
I have a current obstacle around IDE choice and setup, particularly something that can minimise javascript, work with the rest of my tech stack (GitLab, Local, WordPress/PHP/Python/javascript/mySQL/AWS/EDD), allow quick version/environment changes/comparisons, and benefit from recent AI coding tools. 😀

I plan to do a video on this soon!
I use VS Code now. I used Sublime Text for years and loved it. But VS Code is the best way to take advantage of GitHub Copilot AI.

Love this framework for learning to code. I appreciate that you defined what a “full stack dev” actually is.

Thanks Justin!
