If someone would’ve told me that I needed to totally understand all of JavaScript before moving on to React, I would still be learning JavaScript

Big yes to this!
I spent almost 9 months with vanilla JS and didn't understand most of it.
But when I learned Node JS, everything started to click because I can see how they all work and the functionality in a project!

I'm one of those who opposed the quote "Understand and be good at the basic before moving on". Maybe it works for most people, but definitely not for me 😅

Thank you for sharing this "recognize the pattern", Bekah!
I need to train myself to do this as well 😊
