I imagine some of that is already having some familiarity with things from my previous efforts, but I think most of it is being in a better headspace to tackle these things.
This feels like a real phenomenon and it happens to me at least for video games. I recall playing League of Legends, quitting for a few months, and coming back feeling like I'm better than before. I haven't experienced that for coding - it's just imposter syndrome all the time 😂
Are there any things that you tried or are trying to replicate just to practice your HTML and CSS skills?
I once tried creating a page based on the label design for a bottle of earplugs that I have. Didn't get too far - I hit one of those "whoa, I'm really doing the thing" moments and life hit.
I have definitely experienced the confidence boost of familiarity in other things (like crafting, or video games, or board games), but I was surprised to see it in coding too. Maybe because coding still feels like a big learning obstacle? Hopefully more time and consistent practice (and less life hits, which is a huge ask, I know 😂) will help us both!

Congrats Misty!

Thanks, Jacob!
