Yo! I'm Adam. I'm a web developer based in London, UK and I'm open for messages and questions about work or code or anything really.
P.s I'm the one with the beard in my profile pic ✌🏻🐵
I've been learning React and absolutely love it! The component based thinking has helped me with writing cleaner, more re-usable code and has made learning CSS art a bit simpler for me. Thinking of each 'section' of my final image as a component is definitely a good mental model for me and there are lots of posts and articles saying the same thing.
I can't list all the reasons I love it but it's the first thing I've learnt that makes me think in a whole different way.
Just as a side note, I'm not offended personally, but people may not overly like your use of the word 'fellas' as a generalisation. Maybe switch it to 'folks' or 'peeps', just to stop people feeling excluded.
Other than that, I'm excited to see other replies!

Yeah, a lot of people feel it is. Understandable really considering lots of females and trans people involved in tech and they don't really consider themselves 'fellas'.

Oh wow. What has our world gone to.
Anyway, I've been also using React for my front-end needs. Thinking of about components instead of DOM traversal is an awesome change of scenario in comparison with the old days of jQuery. Not to mention that it plays really well with Laravel!

My thoughts were similar but I figured a friendly heads up would be better than people telling you you've offended them. Plus, inclusiveness is nice!
Yeah jQuery was my best friend until React kinda forced me to leave it behind! Definitely fun figuring out different ways to do familiar things and has been really good for improving my vanilla JavaScript
People will just have to get use to being offended then. The real worlds offensive and if someone thinks "fellas" is offensive then their in for alot of emotional scaling, especially in the dev world! As far as Jquery, you should definitely not leave it behind. Not every job is a component and for that matter a hierarchy based job. Unless your consistently making apps with very expected structures, you will come across needs for a stack that appropriates jQuery. In my case, a cigar app with a database lookup that drops down from the header bar and allows the user to drag cigars from the header dropdown into a Virtual humidor. Yes this could.. be done with a component based framework but if i got specific about its needs, you would quickly see that oh man react wont handle this well, angular wont handle this well, polymer sure as heck won handle this well. JQuery allows for an extreme amount of detailed and global DOM changes. if your app has that demand, youll need it

Yeah, I still use jQuery and see the benefits but most uses I had for it I now do with vanilla javaScript, which I'd say has made me a better developer. JQuery is still super handy though and I use it on a lot of things not React related.
Tough skin is definitely a necessity in most industries. As I said, I wasn't offended and my thoughts would have been similar. I literally mentioned the 'fellas' thing to try and stop John getting heat from (maybe overly) sensitive people as it's something I keep seeing happen online.
