Second-order things to learn:

- the way browsers work isn't static, but it also isn't changing that fast. Learn as much as you can and update every few years; particularly about networking and the rendering loop.
- JS is the slowest way to do anything on the web. Never let it become the way you do everything.
- a11y isn't nice-to-have, it's the job
- shipping fast almost never matters as much as quality, & there are simple heuristics you can use to understand the difference
