After four years of drawing React illustrations, I'm finally properly learning React ๐
Incredible how long it took to talk myself out of the narrative "my brain wasn't built for programming." Weirdly believed I wasn't mentally capable. Turns out React is addictively fun.

It really is addictive. I had never done functional programming so the learning curve was steeper than most for me but once it started becoming muscle memory, dev became a lot more fun.

Yeah I feel you on the steep curve! I had never properly studied JS before last year so it was a whole tidal wave of new concepts ๐

So nice to learn from the ground up though. Much easier than my old methods of copy&paste spaghetti code lol

Being able to explain something means having to know it really well, which means you're basically already an expert! ๐ Also your illustrations are wonderful!

I would like to know your opinion about this (old) article thinkful.com/blog/why-learn
Every time i asked that to โnew programmersโ i had very interesting feedbacks, regardles the HOW and why they learned programming

React has been a real treat to work with. Coming from developing web applications where every page had to load a page and it all felt really rigid and blocky. Frameworks like React and VueJS have really set the bar for how front end dev should be.
