Mentor or leveling plan?

Question

JavaScript

Hi everybody! Caution, Further multi-letter :)

Currently busy developing the client side of one product in pure JS (ES5). It seems like I am a middle, but the further the immersion goes, the less I consider myself as such. With ES5 in general, in the last couple of months there has been a persistent feeling of marking time, but it is not surprising, at a time when there are already ES10, and various frameworks, and TS and a bunch of other interesting things on the front. Javascript itself, it seems to me, I know at a good level, not a super guru of course, but I can do something :) And many times I heard such statements, like: "Well, if you know JS, then lighting up React \ Angular \ Vue is not a problem at all, a week or two is enough. Is such a statement true? Because I’m somehow a bit tight with this ... The main goal is not to stay in the ES5 enterprise swamp and master the modern, demanded front-end stack (ES6 +, React || Angular || vue || Node, Webpack, etc what the market needs from the front right now). Well, actually, let's move on to the question itself :) If there are middle + people here in the front, please tell me how you pumped yourself in the JS + (React \ Angular \ Vue \ Node) stack? What was your path in this area? What advice would you give? Maybe someone has a specific plan of action lying around?;) Thank you!

Answer 1

You can "light up" in a week or two, but to learn how to make normal large applications with a minimum of shitty code - you need more time.
For pumping, one way is to use and write applications. Or a pet project(s), or a new project at work, or quit and go to where it all is. As fast as possible is the third option, with the condition of getting into a good strong team.

Answer 2

I would do this: I took a couple of courses on React, for example, on udemy from Yuri Bur, and with full-stack development by MERN. After that, I would start looking for a new job. Otherwise, you may end up in a swamp.

Answer 3

From my own experience I can say that when you start doing something really big and complex, along the way you will understand what you did wrong before and what could be done better, and you learn))
