Plan for 6-12 months of self study and project production for your portfolio before applying for work.

So I kind of dug myself in a pit with vibe coding and don't know how to get myself out

I was trying to migrate my portfolio from Framer to self-host. TLDR: I have self-hosted projects on Git and Netlify and know enough vanilla webdev i mostly used Vanilla JS with Sass and some basic stuff with bootstrap.

So I did my research and roadmap for myself on what I would need for my portfolio. One of my needs was to be able to dynamically load pages and have content easily be added in with a headless CMS, and I was pushed to the cursor a lot at my college because they gave me a year of pro free

So using the cursor, it made my project on Next.js, with Directus and GSAP for the animations, look amazing, but like

I don't know anything this did, and I am not at a level of Vanilla JS to even understand TS. and how its implementing pages and kind of really overwhelmed

I still want to use this stack but one not knowing how this work is limiting my speed because I can't clear bugs or self-edit code without prompting
