I’m the author of this blog post, very cool to have it here. One thing I didn’t say in the post: I’m very much a fundamentals-first kind of dev. I teach fundamentals in my courses. I don’t think you should use tools like frameworks or transpilers/compilers without understanding how they work, because debugging is always better when you know what the tool is doing for you, and it makes it easier to use the tool. React is a particularly leaky abstraction that benefits from understanding it under-the-hood. You need strong fundamentals to understand how things work.
