Create-React-App 3.3
Question for people who use these CLIs to start projects: Since there&#x27;s so much prebaked functionality in the generated code, do you get distracted by it, when working on it?<p>The CLI probably enables a few dozen features, of which you might use a handful of. So there&#x27;s all these files and configuration code in your project that is never touched&#x2F;used. I imagine it&#x27;s a lot of white noise.<p>Whenever I start new projects, I cleanroom start with an empty git repo. Every line, in every file, has a purpose. (With time, there is some slippage. A feature could get removed, and some code doesn&#x27;t get eliminated that should, for example). But all in all, the <i>vast</i> majority of the code there serves a purpose.<p>Little to no mental energy is spent worrying about side effects or filtering through code that&#x27;s not only not relevant to my current work, but has <i>no present value in the project at all</i>.<p>I take a functional style, with the above, to allow myself to really be able to focus on my work. I sometimes feel alone in this approach, but it works for me and I see it&#x27;s benefits. I place a big premium on clarity.
