As a backend who finally bit the bullet and started learning react a few months ago, my #1 learning resource has been ChatGPT.

I can tell it what I want it to do, iterate on the idea and see how it changes. After I did that a few times I was able to tinker myself on the project and again ask ChatGPT how to improve the code.

Perhaps it’s just my learning style, but it has been really refreshing experience to learn with something(someone).

Same... I especially love pasting in a screenshot along the outerHtml from chrome devtools and ask "make those aligned on the same line, the thing with the text on the right" and it finds the right combination of flex and margin values on elements.

Feels like a huge burden lifted off my shoulders

Not a frontend engineer, but wondering whether svelte is a more promising start for beginners instead of nextjs and other react based frameworks?

The problem is the job market isn’t there yet. That’s what drives React, that and many people already know it and don’t want to change

I mean there are pros and cons of each. Why svelte over solidjs for example? It depends on your usecase. React for all it's flaws is the most widely used... so if people are aiming for a job it is still the best bet.
