"I know almost nothing about the subject at hand, so here's my expert opinion on it"

I've been a software developer for 20 years. I've been doing JavaScript since it was invented. I do actually know a lot about these things.

  • Confession: when I say “completely new to JavaScript”, I mean that I once used it to make badly-animated pages as a kid in the 90s. It’s completely different now, so I say I’m a complete beginner.

  • That's not what you said initially. Nice bait

    • I didn't say anything about my past experience. Is it so incomprehensible that people did massive amounts of web development before React was even a twinkle in someone's eye? Is it so incomprehensible that someone could learn React and then choose not to continue to use it?
