The very first link in the homework is exactly how I feel learning to code. Every time I learn about a thing I find out
there's another thing you need to run it, but make sure you aren't running the third thing or the first thing loses its mind
and turns into a Terminator. Everything is designed to make our jobs "easier" but it seems as though all of them complicate
things to the point that I question my sanity. Every time I feel as though I'm making some headway or really learning anything
I find out I've actually been handling it all wrong. The best metaphor I have for it is like when we learned something in
elementary school and accepted it as fact, then reached middle school and found out that wasn't QUITE the case. Repeat again
in high school and college.
The article on how it feels to learn JavaScript in 2016 has a very similar vibe in that there are a TON of tools that make me
think I'm going to have to empty my brain of everything I love in order to remember it. The counterpoint article rang true as
well only in the sense that it shows how to install React and run an app, but fails to expalin WHY any of it works. In
summation I'm going to keep grinding away and learning as much as I can while still holding onto my sanity.
