I only have experience with backend non web development, so my experience may not be worth much, but... Setting up a frontend web app with React (or Angular) is insanely hard to self teach and I would consider myself very good at self learning. Its hard to workout how to integrate React with Bootstrap and you often start to get problems you are not even sure how to fix. When you look at tutorials online, they all have slightly different tech stacks which complicates this further. Second to this working out how and where you get your graphics from is impossible for me. Frontend blows my mind! (And this comes from a guy who has done +1000 leetcode problems for fun) Also, in this thread people say this or that is bad without specifying examples of websites and a problem which could be fixed. Is anyone able to name 2 to 3 concrete websites and examples from which others can look at and learn what is wrong?

I can sympathise with this. I have no professional experience with web technologies. Whatever little I have done has been a hobby. And I can never learn anything "generally", the way I know how to make a C program. Every react/angular tutorial throws a bunch of high concepts at me, and then a list of commands that will do some magic for me. I am unable to use this info to start my own web project and translate whatever is in my mind to the screen. Everything I have been able to do, has been by modifying existing examples/projects. Like you, I consider myself to be a good self-learner. I was able to go through a couple of rust tutorials, and with generous consulting of the manual, I am able to write simple rust programs, and figure out how to do what I have in mind.
