React Meltdown

This second phase has been a wild one. The focus of phase 2 was to learn React and the multiple uses that come with it. In Phase 1 I felt like my knowledge conceptually and technically. While this was great to boost my confidence starting this program, it gave me false confidence and a bit of an ego. React was the counter to that, quickly putting me in my place and bringing back the realization that software development is hard, and at times debilitating. However, through this struggle, we as humans and developers become better. I had to learn this the hard way, but it is a lesson I won't forget.

I enjoyed learning React and seeing the many use cases for it over Javascript. The reusability and customizability make it a great language for creating complex and interactive sites. I hope to continue my journey with learning React and hope to one day be able to master it, but for now, we continue onward!
