I'm diving into JavaScript and feeling a bit lost with some concepts. I've learned HTML, CSS, and JavaScript already, and creating a beginner interactive website or simple animations was pretty straightforward. However, I've found some areas tougher, like loops and objects, while I've got a decent grasp on DOM manipulation, arrays, functions, events, and basic conditionals. My main question is: how often should I revisit the fundamentals? For instance, if I create a calculator and later can't recreate it without searching for help, does that mean I'm not learning enough? Should I continually redo the same projects, or is it better to keep progressing?

I've been at it for 25+ years, mostly in Python for the last decade. Honestly, I can't remember how to do simple things like capture keyboard input without checking the documentation. The true skill lies in understanding concepts and knowing how to reference materials to get back on track.
It's totally fine! When you find yourself Googling how to recreate your calculator, it shows that the underlying approach is there, just the details are rusty. The concepts should stick as you progress, and it’s normal to need a reminder for specific details after some time.
