Why I’m Relearning Web Fundamentals

Why I’m Relearning Web Fundamentals
I’ve been building with modern frameworks like React and Tailwind for a while, but recently, I hit a wall. I realized I was relying too much on abstractions without truly understanding the core web technologies underneath.
Why Go Back to Basics?
Gaps in Knowledge – I could build things, but debugging or optimizing felt like guesswork.
Framework Fatigue – The JS ecosystem moves fast, but fundamentals stay relevant.
Accessibility & Performance – Without deep HTML/CSS/JS knowledge, it’s hard to build truly great web experiences.
My Plan:
Relearn JS deeply (DOM, events).
Master CSS layout models (flexbox, grid) without just relying on utility classes.
Write semantic HTML from scratch.
Understand how browsers actually render pages.
Why #LearnInPublic?
Sharing my journey keeps me accountable, helps others, and reinforces my learning. Expect posts on core concepts, experiments, and mistakes along the way!
