This is great advice!

Sometimes I think we forget, or at-least I do anyway, that React is a javascript library for building User Interfaces. It is not meant to be a fully stacked framework like Angular.

So if you can clone an existing-real-world website, like Netflix or Airbnb, nail the user experience, even manipulate real-world data, that's a step in the right direction to full-time employment imho! 🔥
