With great difficulty. In seriousness, I've recently been doing a lot more front-end work in my position and have had to pick it up pretty quickly after years of desktop, core tech, and backend work. TypeScript is my new best friend. So far I've not used frameworks like React because they seemed overkill for what I've been building, and I wanted to get a solid grasp on vanilla JS/TS before going that route. So right now my preference is TS transpiled and bundled with the help of Webpack deployed to something like Netlify or, if a server is involved, Render (although I'm looking for Render alternatives due to very slow initial page load when the app usage goes "cold")
