✅ Frontend is not just HTML, CSS & JS — it’s about understanding the browser, performance, accessibility & real UX.
📝 Document your code. Future you will thank you.
📚 JS isn’t built for DSA, but frontend interviews still expect it.
🧠 Walk > Debugging. Bugs often vanish when you step away.
📊 Get close to data; it keeps you aligned with impact and value.
❓ Ask "dumb" questions — they often lead to smart outcomes.
🎯 Interviews ≠ Real work. One tests theory, the other demands delivery.
💸 ₹1 crore CTC ≠ ₹1 crore salary — stocks, bonuses & taxes eat a chunk.
⌛ Saying “no” or setting boundaries is self-care, not arrogance.
♻️ Rewriting code is okay. Clarity beats cleverness every time.
🤝 Soft skills > DSA once you're in the job.
⚙️ Learn the tools — devtools, version control, and debugging workflows save hours.
⏳ You’ll ship bad code — focus on making it less bad next time.
👥 Working with a great team > working with great tech.
🌱 Growth is nonlinear — sometimes progress looks like slowing down.
🧩 Learn how the web works — protocols, rendering, caching — it pays off.
✍️ Writing (docs, PRs, even posts) makes you a better developer.
These are the lessons you don’t learn from courses.
