In fact, the new "Redux Essentials" [0] and "Redux Fundamentals" [1] core docs tutorials specifically say "we assume you know React already" as a prerequisite. (And yes, I really wish bootcamps didn't throw devs straight into Redux, but I understand why that happens. That's a large part of why I just rewrote our tutorials.) > Not many people advocate redux these days, which I find unfortunate given how good redux toolkit makes it.
