Hell, I already sat down three times and tried to figure out what this React thing is. Couldn‘t make it. Using Svelte now and being happy.

Yeah he’s a big svelte fan.
To be fair it took me couple of days to learn the basics of react. But I had years of programming experience, including other frontend frameworks like angular, angularjs, knockoutjs etc.
Eh, lots of stuff can be easy to learn, difficult to master.
Most languages only take a few minutes to do a "hello world" app.
When you announce you're comfortable with something, it probably depends on the scale of the apps you're used to working on.
So a junior dev could very well feel they've learned something like react after two days of cramming.
A textbook example of the original meaning of Dunning-Kruger, wherein an inexperienced person is unaware of what they have yet to learn and thus overestimate their existing skills.
This is a good point imo. They just don't know the breadth of it yet. Being experienced also means getting a grasp of the amount of stuff you don't yet know.

Me too, but I wouldn't claim to know React unless I felt good at bluffing.

Learned of
One day to learn how to make stuff in React, one day to learn the degree to which the React developers despise you.
I can use react to build something, but fuck is it inefficient. Still learning though, as i’m just creating my first frontend and it’s for a hobby project anyway, so performance doesn’t matter.
