You know, this sounds like a story about the soldier who made the soup from the axe. Maybe after all these wrappers and decorators you could drop react too and do just fine without it?

No mention of scrum, agile and pair programming either. Strange, huh? I'd say *DD is nice-to-have but orthogonal to being proficient. Or sometimes just counter-productive, if all it is is cargo-culting with zero understanding.

How many years would it take to master one topic? Say to the top X percent. How many of these intervals fit in 40 years career? Worth keeping in mind, that if we are talking technology there usually overlap between fields so you are unlikel

Most STEM people should know, that analytical ability relies a lot on knowledge. You cannot analyse how something is made up unless you are able to recognise parts, their relationships and dependences. You need those chunks, patterns in you

I strongly recommend it for everyone. Especially for those workaholics and one-(brain)-hemishpere individuals who think that knowing only one narrow area is OK.

Being expert means having ability to recognise certain patterns and having skills to apply then. So yes details don't matter much if pattern recognition works fine (and it's ability to work is in some degree dependant on ignoring

That's a poisonous chalice not the holy grail. How can someone to prefer JS to Swift is beyond my comprehension. Or is that "if the only tool you have is a hammer" situation?

No, that's just the very bad problem. Normaly we'd use several different words to describe various amount of hay. This is problem is on par with "have you already stopped to beat your wife?" Pseudo-intelectualism is jus

With react native and electron web stack is running in circles. How many times should this be repeated: web stack is easier to write only if you don't know shit of the native SDKs. Otherwise it does not even compare.

Omg, not java for sure. The important bits will be burried in the boilerplate code. How about starting with NO language at all. Learn what variables are, what assignment is, how do control structures work. And hey, you've just learned
