As a new web developer: what can I do once I know how to config these things, that I don’t get as part of CRA?

  Off the top of my head, I'm sure I'm missing a few obvious ones. Notably CRA doesn't prevent you from doing any of these, but taking the time to learn the various build tools will better enable it. * spend less time debugging dependencies across version changes * reduce bundle sizes * create a better CI/CD pipeline * reduce unnecessary dependencies * fork/fix/create your own plug-ins and other tools * self-hosting npm to avoid production/dev outages * easily learn new tools because you understand the underlying systems/alternatives
