Front-end design, React, and a bridge over the great divide
The last time I did a bit of frontend for a side project was in 2004. Then I took a long break from dev and computers in general. Earlier this year I&#x27;d decided to brush up on the whole frontend&#x2F;JS ecosystem. It was weird initially and there was a lot of friction, as I was especially fixated with a &quot;why can&#x27;t I stick this in a &lt;script&gt; tag, what even is NPM...&quot; mindset.<p>I have the say, after getting the hang of typescript, react, Vue and the tooling in general, I don&#x27;t exactly hate it as much as I was led to believe I would. Also, typescript is very nice.
