Information overload seems to be a common issue among starting web developers. Do you have problems with the amount of information about different technologies (e.g., HTML, CSS, JavaScript, frameworks, libraries, etc.), or the amount of information about a single topic (e.g., too many resources to learn JavaScript)?

Someone had suggested me earlier "Learn to program. rather than learning language learn to program.Javascript is the language to write that program''. I believe I should look for the fundamentals of programming.

I think that's a really good advice. You should look into algorithmic thinking: youtu.be/8hly31xKli0

I tryna figure it out where to use the HTML codes. For example selection divs navs header etc. Need to work on it 🤓

In a big project, I find it difficult to split my mind into different parts to solve a problem.
I know the APIs pretty well but sometimes I feel stuck at fixing a bug and that makes me anxious. I often hear the term systematic thinking(which I think is the same as algorithmic thinking) and would like to figure out what that is but I just don't know where to start!
Information has gone from scarce to super abundant. That brings huge benefit but also big headache.
As a self learning web developer sometimes I confused.
