For what it’s worth — I pretty much guarantee you that without this disclaimer, this post will make rounds in certain communities on Twitter as “haha React is so complicated glad I don’t use it”. This is an unfortunate reality that I’ve already ran into before.

Another unintended effect can be contributing to the perception that React is only for people with a strong programming background rather than, say, a11y expertise. I don’t want that either and that’s why I mentioned there are multiple ways to look at React.

Yet another problem is that random things from my posts are sometimes used in interview questions. :-/

I trust a curious reader to ignore the disclaimers and dive in anyway.

But I also wish I didn’t need to put it there and I emptathize with your frustration.
