Tailwindcss is definitely one of my favorite tools and let me explain why: 1. Coding the CSS portion is very fast 2. The entire team uses the exact same classes/library so the readability of the code is much higher 3. Responsiveness is awesome! No need for media queries.
Being self-taught is not easy. Just knowing what to learn and planning a curriculum is difficult. It takes a TON of discipline, time and hard work. If you can't motivate yourself, then maybe formal education is the way to go. Which is fine. Some people just need more structure.

If your code is broken, just fix it. Follow me for me tips and tricks you won’t want to miss.
Many say that you NEED a mentor in order to learn to code and get a job in tech. I still have never had a dedicated mentor. I've had A COMMUNITY. It takes a special person to want to make that commitment. Mentors are awesome but if you don't have one, it isn't a deal breaker.
The only productivity hack you need: Put down your phone and just start doing something.
Biggest culture shock I had was when I switched from insurance/customer serivce into tech. The pace is alot more controlled and slower for the most part. Crazy going from a career where you're unappreciated to a career path where companies make sure you are appericated.
No need to avoid it. Javascript is great and opens you up to alot of options.
