As I've been learning how to code, I've noticed that many developers, especially those in web development, often have strong opinions about the "right" way to do things. The sheer volume of content can be overwhelming, particularly for new developers who are still finding their footing. One of the most pervasive and annoying trends in this realm is "click-baiting" - using sensational or misleading headlines to lure developers into adopting certain tools or workflows. It's time we address this issue head-on.

My question is, will following their advice benefit my workflow for the project I'm currently working on?

If you find a new way to solve a problem that already has multiple solutions, congratulations!

It's great to share what you've learned, but it's not so great to be told what we should be doing.

If you're new to coding, have been learning for a few months, or haven't even started your first job, just focus on what works for you. If jQuery works for you right now, then use jQuery. Don't feel pressured to learn react.js just because everyone else is using it. Here is a life TIP: Not every one will work for big tech companies or those using the most cutting-edge tools. Many of us will work for small or lesser-known companies that still find jQuery useful.

Focus on learning to code, solving problems, and staying focused on your goal, which is getting a job, not learning every JavaScript tool ever created.

I hope this message helps if you're feeling overwhelmed. There's a lot to learn, so focus on what works for you.
