Try to build your application using pure React until you hit its limits. This will kinda force you to explore its features and understand the core concepts better. Starting out with extra layers of complexity can slow your flow and kill your motivation.
Perhaps surprisingly, JavaScript has long lacked support for constants: that is, referenced values that don’t change throughout the execution of your script. For lack of any alternatives, most constants have been assigned to variables.

It helps with the problems of the now and the future that HTML and CSS alone can’t cover reliably. We shouldn’t blindly rely on it — we should own the responsibility to work around its flaky nature and reliability issues.
There are definitely many instances (probably more than you realize) where automating something will actually help you get your job done and ship stuff faster — with fewer bugs than by regularly repeating the same steps in your workflow.
