React NOOOOO!

SOooOOoo… We’re learning this wonderful, powerful, tool named React. It’s both powerful and scary at the same time. I grew up watching dozens of cartoons about super heros. All of them kind of followed the same narrative in their first opening scenes. Some random person who stumbled on something that either allowed them to inherit some power or awaken the power within them. Once they realized that they had some type of super human powers, their next step was learning about that power and somehow controlling it. I don’t know how where I fall on the scale of inheriting the power of coding or it being given to me but I fell like a super hero with these new powers of coding. React seems like a way to help me understand and control these powers.

At this stage in my learning progress, React is still scary because it’s new to me. I’ve just sort of grasped the concept of JavaScript. I see how React is beneficial on a larger scale and will be super beneficial for bigger projects but it’s driving me crazy right now because I’m using it on small applications and it’s overkill.

If I could write a poem about React it would go something like this,

React, React where art thou? No really were art thou?

I feel like me learning React is just right around the corner, I can’t understand it now. I know with milage I’ll be able to understand it, but I want to know it now. I have a ton of ideas that I’m waiting to unleash, but these super powers are still to new to me.
