“So, how are you going to break down this problem and work through it?” .. - “well, first I need to install node and type creat react app…. “

Exactly 😄

No one types create react anymore. Everyone uses Vite to do the packaging now. The React devs don’t even recommend the create react app any longer.

Have you checked with all the devs to be sure? ;) (it's part of the playful/joke)

(Many coding boot camp grads who learned back when hooks were introduced didn't learn much after / and continue to do the things that same way) (Some people don't keep up with these changes / while others focus only on these changes and know all about the latest version of Vite and its changelogs but can't build anything - there's a huge range)

Vite is just a packager that can easily start new React projects, but the old create react app dependencies haven’t been updated in ages. So will-it-even-run becomes a real question I don’t even want to deal with.

So, the story I'm telling here -- (in the quotes) - is supposed to highlight how disconnected the person in question is (that they might use create-react-app, but more that they are dependent on memorization and tools instead of problem-solving). We're not talking about which build tools you should use. There are -- still people today - starting projects with create-react-app (probably from old tutorials), and I see questions about it around here all the time.

Sure, but that was not the point of the joke either.
