   me: I need to make a simple web-app for a project
   also me: I need to learn some react basics for a job interview

   WHY NOT COMBINE THE TWO? good question, why not?

     @foone React is one of the biggest piles of crap I’ve ever seen.

     Even the basic premise of it (kind of “let’s build a browser in the browser”) is deeply flawed.

     christ, the first example in the react docs has a minor error.

     not giving me a good feeling about the quality of this software

     @thomasfuchs yeah that's been my impression too, but a job I'm applying for does some basic react code-a-longs for their tech interviews, so I'd like to be familiar with it.

     @foone I wonder if it’s possible to determine the layout from a single keypress of a specific key the app tells you to press (by position)

     What obvious layout am I missing?

     okay so my first attempt at writing any react code resulted in a hydration error and also my UI elements are rendered black on black, making them invisible
