Where in Discord does this happen exactly? I’ve long thought it must happen there, but I have no idea where to start or look

Yes, Nuxt. AFAIK Nuxt is to Vue what Next is to React.

Decided to improve my React Native and Expo skills, now it turned into a real app on its way to the iOS App Store.

Build stuff and if you’re not there yet, solve challenges. You don’t learn by watching tutorials, you learn by doing.

Just historical reasons I think. Some people swear by untyped JS. TS was created later on by Microsoft

Yes it makes sense to learn as that’s what everybody uses today. But you’re probably fine with JS for now, then you can switch later. That’s what what I did. It’s a pain in the beginning, but now I can’t imagine ever going back.

It’s essentially the same, just with types, so you and your IDE always know what the type of a variable is. In your example you would get an error saying you cannot assign a number to a string (unless you specifically typed it so it could be both).

That’s why you have TypeScript

That’s right. The concepts and ideas will help you in many situations, also outside of programming.

Maybe a hot take, but no Python, C++ or (advanced) DSA is necessary to become a web developer today.

I would do React app with Supabase storage for the audio files. Supabase buckets wrap S3, but much easier to work with using their JS API.

If you’re looking for the word for it, it’s concatenation.

I have no idea how to do this. Is it because I’m on a Danish keyboard or just because I’m not smart enough

But honestly, if you're new to JS don't think too much about this. Just use let and var. It will come naturally later on.

The variables can change - either when some other value changes (e.g. addedSkills) or I only need them once inside a function when it's called. When the function is called again the const can take another value. What mostly happens is I assign a const and use that to compute another const.

I only use const. Never var and when, very rarely, I'm forced to use let it feels wrong.

I see that you're learning JS. "Getting" the importance of scope comes with experience. I also didn't see why it was so important in the beginning, but trust me, at some point you'll only be using const and it will hurt writing let or var 😊

Because 1) at some point you need that function again and then you're still keeping your code DRY and 2) you can give it a descriptive name so it's clear what it does. I sometimes I have functions that just have a single return statement.

You will be polluting your scopes and you will easily lose track of what the actual value of your variable is.

It’s like that by design, and it makes a lot of sense - you just gotta practice. It would easily get very messy if that was possible. If you use let and define your variables outside the function you can do it, but it’s bad practice. Always use const 😊
