I’ve been learning backend development, and honestly, it’s been a bit all over the place.

I’ve seen things like endpoints, nodemon, Express.js, the terminal, and a few other concepts. Some of them make sense when I see them, but I can’t really say I’ve mastered anything yet.


If I’m being honest with myself, I haven’t really been practicing consistently. I’ve been carried away by other responsibilities, and that has slowed me down more than I expected.

So right now, I don’t feel like I’m making much progress.


It’s not that I don’t understand what I’m learning,  it’s more that I haven’t spent enough time actually building with it for things to stick. And I’m starting to realise that’s where the real learning happens.


Sometimes I feel like there’s so much to learn and not enough time to catch up. It can feel a bit overwhelming, especially when I think about how much I still don’t know.

But at the same time, I’m trying not to overthink it. I know learning this kind of thing takes consistency, not just interest.


Right now, I’m just trying to reset a bit. Go back to basics properly. Practice more. Build small things. Even if it feels slow. There’s still a lot ahead, and I’m not where I want to be yet, but I guess the first step is being honest about where I actually am.
