I still believe some basics have to be learned first. I've written about not starting with React and focusing on JavaScript and general understanding of DOM instead.

Of course anyone is free to learn what they want in whatever order they like. However, the trend nowadays seems to be for coding bootcamps to release in the market plenty of "React developers" who end up struggling in the real world because they have not been given the time to learn those basics.

Don't start with React

I mean, you eventually learn them right? It gets to a point that you need them to keep working on some project.
