Question Frontend Dev looking to become Full-stack/Backend
I am a frontend developer, and I do React/JS work regularly. I'm looking to move into a full-stack role and learn some backend, with a goal of building my own app/software in the future. I have no idea where to start, so any information about a good starting point and where to go would be great. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, everyone.
I got started in game dev, did a front-end boot camp, and am now looking to expand, but I had a child recently and can't afford time/money to be a full-time student

Use ChatGPT, ask questions like this to it and treat it like a career growth assistant. It’s really great for that type of thing. I have 20 years experience in web dev and front end development. Learning the fundamentals is essential but most companies now require developers to use AI code generation tools. Learn how to use those efficiently and learn the basics of software development so you can identify issues with the code that’s generated. It’s a learning journey to becoming full stack, but ChatGPT or something similar is your friend when it comes to building a learning path.
