The mistake those beginner make is listening to some evagelists that will tell them they need everything, from React, TypeScript to Redux, routers, thunks/sagas etc. As a beginner, you should start with plain JS/TS. When you dealt with the hell of manipulating DOM elements all over the place and untraceable UI updates after hours of debugging, you should move on to some UI library. Only then will you understand and see what problem it solves. Then you should go with React, but not hooks or redux. Use plain old classes. When you felt the pain of distributed mutable state all over place, you will be open to hooks or redux etc. Still, do not add a library for thunks. Only after you realize how much boiler plate code you write to deal with async stuff, you will see a value in the added abstraction. A beginner should start simple, and really feel the pain. Only then will there be an "a-ha!" moment where you can judge if a library/framework actually helps you and provides value. The biggest issue in FE world is people proclaiming some given conglomerate of a library/framework soup as the silver bullet to all problems.
