I wonder why "General Development Skills" comes after basic HTML/CSS/JS. I guess the barrier-to-entry feels lower if you dive right in, but it feels odd that extremely basic things like "Learn to search for solutions" would proceed HTML. Wouldn't you need to be good at that in order to help you learn even basic HTML when you get stuck?

If you look at the career trajectory of frontend developers, I'd bet that more of them learned HTML, CSS or JS before they learned many (if not all) of the things listed under "General Development Skills". Not that those skills aren't important, but they're not entry points for learning.
