You'll need a Delaware C-Corp to receive funding. If funding isn't on the cards, a simple and cheap LLC is the best. Delaware C-Corp has a bunch of reporting requirements and a scary default tax treatment. It's not for the uninitiated.
As someone else noted, Taiwan-based company. If you must have a US entity, LLC is the best for a one-person company. If you do raise funding or become big, it's trivial to convert to a C-Corp.
Please provide references for the term "scary" and "not for the uninitiated."

Spider plants are great cover for a compost bucket with composting worms in case you are getting into composting.
> I was planning on learning React, but the fact that it's owned by Meta really holds me back.
May I ask why? React starts there, but it will probably survive Meta. Its a great framework, IMO.
I like Next.js

Mostly agree but houses are really expensive around here, significantly more expensive than 10 years ago. If you have a family and need a decent amount of space then your options are either buy > $1million house (at minimum) or live very far away and have an in sufferably long commute. New grads are pretty fcked tbh unless housing supply increases fast or they just stay in apartments.
There is a balance between overspending and forcing yourself to live uncomfortably just to save money.
Maxing out roth ira isn't that helpful for this situation given there is a 10% early withdraw penalty
Rent is still less than 1/3 of post tax income most places if you have a high paying tech job. Also you can always downsize on stuff to save on floorspace.

This both oversimplifies the experiences of people who have been through economic cycles before (some of them are shocked too), and underestimates the power of the human imagination. I for one believe I can read about an era I didn't experience, use my imagination to think about what it would have been like to live during that time, and if something similar happens in my lifetime, be less 'shocked'. I think many people can do this too!

Followers of Krashen know that it's sensible input that results in language acquisition. Duolingo gamifies the frequency of sensible input. Therefore Duolingo will work if frequently and consistently used. Fluent is an outdated term. It probably takes about six months to achieve any lasting result. Illusion of progress is impossible to prove or disprove probably.

Deliberate practice.
There's two main ways to do that.
1. Have a coach or someone who is good at the skill help coach those who are not so great at it.
2. Have some way to capture data that allows you to know how well you're doing. Page views, engagement rates, happiness of content, etc.
The best approach is a combination of both. But the generic advice would be "write a lot and promote the ability to write a lot" and you'll figure out the deliberate practice side out later.
A deliberate practice environment has four elements:
1) Repeat exposure (aka volume of attempts)
2) Valid environment (a win is a win and a loss is a loss)
3) Timely feedback (you know immediately whether you won or lost)
4) Deliberate practice.
Deliberate practice without the other three is not complete.

Cramer's advice is a decent guide if you always take the opposite opinion.
The Anti Cramer portfolio is not a sufficient contrarian approach, because the Cramer portfolio also underperforms similar to a random walk. Put another way, the opposite of a random walk is another random walk.
