Getting good at building software still takes reps, and early on, you should type most code by hand. When you do use agents, read every line they write. Some teams skip human review on low-risk changes these days, but they've read enough code to know what low-risk means.

Three free challenges for learning to fetch data from an API, in order. On each one, think about the empty states and edge cases (e.g., a failed API request). What should they look like? Thinking about these things when you build will help you build better projects.

A dark background features a quote emphasizing the challenge of taking action versus merely observing. It highlights advice #117.

Keep a running doc of the key decisions you make in your projects, like: "Cached the API response for 10 minutes, so the app stays within the free tier's daily request limit." When an interviewer asks about your work, you can pick the example that best fits the question.

A rule of thumb from our guide to escaping tutorial hell: spend about 20% of your time learning concepts and 80% building projects. If you get stuck while building, that's a good thing. It shows a knowledge gap you can fill.

Two accessibility checks to run on your next project: Put your mouse away and use the whole thing with only your keyboard. Read the alt text on every image that isn't decorative. Does it say what's in the image?

Write a README for every project, including why you made the choices you did. Why Flexbox here, why Grid there. Where you used AI and where you disagreed with it. If you can't explain a choice in writing, you probably don't fully understand it yet.

Frontend Mentor @frontendmentor.io · 24/09/2026

Our advice for beginners using AI coding assistants: keep the chat, lose the autocomplete, avoid agents (for now). Ask the assistant to explain things, then write the code yourself. If you can't explain something back, don't use it yet.

You're not falling behind. It's easy to think everyone's speed-running learning with AI. We still see people get stuck where they always have: their first project. The advice still holds: pick something small, build it by hand, and push yourself further with each build.

010

Frontend Mentor @frontendmentor.io · 21/09/2026

Even as AI writes more of the code, beginners still need hands-on time: writing code, fixing their own bugs, reading and reviewing code. That's how you build the knowledge and the vocabulary to get a good result, whether you're writing the code yourself or directing an agent.

If you're aiming for a remote junior role, take writing seriously. It's how distributed teams do most of their work: pull requests, docs, the daily back-and-forth. Someone who can explain their thinking clearly in writing is a real green flag for anyone hiring onto a remote team.

Focus states are easy to forget, but they deserve as much care as hover states. A project can feel polished until you try navigating it with a keyboard and realize you have no idea where you are on the page 🧵

Remote work is flexible. It broadens where you can live, and for many people breaking into tech, it's a huge draw. But going remote-only as a junior can quietly work against you 🧵

When you're coding with AI, the easy path is to let it do the thinking for you. You get unstuck, but your understanding doesn't move. Addy Osmani wrote an excellent piece on why that catches up with you. We wrote a companion for people still at the very beginning. Links in 🧵
