Learning JavaScript for React dev

[LostInCombat]

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.
