Tried React before learning proper JavaScript and it was a disaster

Honestly, I jumped straight into React after a 2-week HTML bootcamp and spent 3 days trying to figure out why my state wasn't updating. Went back and did a solid month of vanilla JS first, then React finally made sense. Anyone else make that mistake and waste a ton of time?

The dev tools matter too. Ever tried Svelte for beginners?

Svelte for beginners? Might as well recommend a unicycle to someone still learning to walk. @sagelane knows how to keep the onboarding interesting.
