AFAIK, that's not really how people learn today. People are rushing to get into the current 'in' framework/library and start working, they forget the basics and the building blocks of the language on which the framework is built, which in turn prevents them from writing good, performant code and also causes new devs to introduce bugs which they can't fix because they don't know how or why a certain thing causes a bug (especially not knowing how the this binding works in JS).
