I see this every week. Someone decides to learn web development. They Google "how to start web development" and within 20 minutes they're installing Node.js, npm, VS Code, and five extensions they don't understand.
They haven't written a single line of code yet. But they've already spent an hour configuring their "environment."
Then they get stuck. Node version conflicts. npm permission errors. VS Code extensions that break their syntax highlighting. They think they're not smart enough for programming.
They are. They just started with the wrong step.
The Problem
