How to start a React Project in 2023
As someone who just decided to learn React (and modern javascript, after 1.5 decades or so of not programming in javascript at all) in the past month or two, I've been extremely frustrated by the documentation (in particular) and the whole state of flux that it's in (in general). When I started with React, all the tutorials/guides on the site said "this is the old documentation, it's about to be replaced" on every single page. Still I worked through it and learned a bit. But by the end of working through it I figured "well, I might as well click the link that's on every page and see what modern React is like". So I tried to follow one of their guides and had issues with the very beginning. But I knew enough React to know what to do to fix the issue, so I did, and proceeded with the new guide, only to hit more problems immediately after that. So I gave up, and just stuck with the "old" way to do React. But then just 1 week after all those issues, the new docs were switched over to be the main docs. I'm honestly kind of afraid to try to work through them again and see if they fixed them already.And now I just read this article, and, well, I'm even less motivated to get into this stuff. Is this just a really bad time for React? Or is it always such a chaotic changing climate around it?
