    Tbf, “learned a language” is a hard thing to pin down in any case.

    I’ve been building enterprise software with python for almost a decade now. I still occasionally find stuff in the stdlibs that I didn’t know about, or even sometimes some subtle feature of the language that I never had reason to explore until now.

    If someone asks me if I “learned” python, id say hell yeah - but there’s always still plenty to learn

    That being said, no reasonable definition of learned includes what you could do in 2 days, even as an experienced dev lol

      Exactly. I’m 20 years in and I’m still like “I had no idea this was a feature… cool!”

        “cool”: that sinking feeling that there’s so much you could go back and optimize, but that you probably will never have the time to…

    I feel bad because while I don’t reach for react (I usually pick Vue or vanilla), people’s comments about react is really depressing.

    There’s a LOT of shitty react code. And when you see beautiful react implementation, it’s like a work of art.

    Unfortunately, react projects have been given to by bootcamps grads with 6 months of experience and it’s like the blind leading the blind…

    I wonder if it’s like PHP. Lots of people shit on it because they had to futz around in a garbage project written by garbage developers, fully unaware that it can be elegant in the hands of a professional team who cares about code quality.

      PHP is great for building APIs to use with React or Vue. I’m happy I have so much back end experience with both good and bad code.

      My motto: if a Junior dev can’t figure out what I’m doing after two weeks of training, I’ve failed.

    React definition: React (also known as React.js or ReactJS) is a free and open-source front-end JavaScript library for building user interfaces based on components.

    Guys, I’ve learned React in 1 minute!
