I am approaching a crossroads in the course I am doing to learn backend. Would you all recommend that I learn typescript/javascript or Go first?

In my free time I’ll check indeed to see what job options are out there, and to see what languages are required or preferred. More often than not, I see that python ISN’T on the list, so am I wasting my time by learning python first?

Yesterday’s practice session wasn’t so great, but today I will be more focused and keep working towards my goal of web development! 💪

What do you all think are the most in demand languages right now? Both front end and back end

Is it worth my time to learn how to use tkinter, or should I skip it and learn something else?

Starting to dabble with Tkinter as I’m learning python. Should I skip this, or is getting familiar with it going to help me?

Yesterday I made the mistake of letting chatGPT show me code and 2 hours later I was deep in copy/paste mode and wasn't learning anything. Valuable lesson learned, don't let GPT show me the code, make sure it's teaching me instead

I'm not confident enough with python yet to make my own project, what are some guides or tutorials you would recommend I look into to help me?

Currently learning web development through boot.dev and am wondering if I should take a break from the courses on there and do some of my own projects or YouTube tutorials, or just keep pushing. Would appreciate others thoughts!
