“Hire me”

I feel bad because while I don't reach for react (I usually pick Vue or vanilla), people's comments about react is really depressing.

There's a LOT of shitty react code. And when you see beautiful react implementation, it's like a work of art.

Unfortunately, react projects have been given to by bootcamps grads with 6 months of experience and it's like the blind leading the blind...

I wonder if it's like PHP. Lots of people shit on it because they had to futz around in a garbage project written by garbage developers, fully unaware that it can be elegant in the hands of a professional team who cares about code quality.

Took him two days to figure out a hello world in react?

React definition: React (also known as React.js or ReactJS) is a free and open-source front-end JavaScript library for building user interfaces based on components.

Guys, I've learned React in 1 minute!

Tbf, "learned a language" is a hard thing to pin down in any case.

I've been building enterprise software with python for almost a decade now. I still occasionally find stuff in the stdlibs that I didn't know about, or even sometimes some subtle feature of the language that I never had reason to explore until now.

If someone asks me if I "learned" python, id say hell yeah - but there's always still plenty to learn

That being said, no reasonable definition of learned includes what you could do in 2 days, even as an experienced dev lol

Dude’s training for his spelling bee. Let’s not over_react_.

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';

ReactDOM.render(
	<div>
		<h1>My Site</h1>
		<p>Welcome to my cool site. 😎</p>
	</div>,
	document.getElementById('root')
);

Me too. I'll take my salary now, please.

Edit: Lemmy stripped out my rickroll. :(

I didn’t take me more than a day to learn (I don’t understand) React.

React is a library, when do you consider a library "learned"? If they already knew JavaScript why couldn't they "learn" React in two days?

I've been using Python regularly for a decade and I'm continuously using new libraries and learning new things, I can't think of when I would have considered Python "learned".

Probably the hardest part of React, for me, was getting used to the callbacks. Passing data up to the parent component using a function. It's a little difficult to get used to if you haven't encountered it already

This is probably someone that also didn't learn JavaScript properly

I learned about how much I didn't understand react on my 2nd dev job. I had like 2yoe with react previously. There's a lot about it. Mostly tricks. hacks and work arounds for it's abysmal performance.

Bah, 2 whole days? I learned React in 1 day!... then another, and another, and then I got a book, and a few years later... I learned how to fix whatever ChatGPT spits out in React in 2 days!

I thought I learned it.. Then I got screwed for ages until I worked out how UseEffect worked.

To be clear though, I still suck, and am probably doing a lot wrong

I have worked on a few React web apps now and I can't say that I have learned it fr

Does anyone else read this and think "goddamn I hate my career choice" and simultaneously think "goddamn there isn't a lot you could pay me to do"

I remember building with hooks was a bit tricky.

To be fair it took me couple of days to learn the basics of react. But I had years of programming experience, including other frontend frameworks like angular, angularjs, knockoutjs etc.

Hell, I already sat down three times and tried to figure out what this React thing is. Couldn‘t make it. Using Svelte now and being happy.

One day to learn how to make stuff in React, one day to learn the degree to which the React developers despise you.

I can use react to build something, but fuck is it inefficient. Still learning though, as i’m just creating my first frontend and it’s for a hobby project anyway, so performance doesn’t matter.

Is React worse than Vue?
