🚀 Why Basics Matter More Than Frameworks Everyone wants to jump straight into React, Next.js, or whatever’s trending. But here’s the truth frameworks are shortcuts built on top of fundamentals. If you don’t understand the road, shortcuts only get you lost faster. I’ve worked with various developers who can build complex UIs but freeze when JavaScript behaves unexpectedly. That’s not a lack of skill, that’s a lack of foundation. When you master the core concepts 🔹 How the DOM actually works 🔹 How JS handles memory, scope, and events 🔹 How CSS paints and reflows 🔹 How HTTP and rendering really connect then any framework becomes just another tool, not a dependency. Frameworks change every few years. Basics stay forever. If you can write clean logic with vanilla JS, you’ll never fear the next big thing. Because the fundamentals never go out of fashion. Stay rooted. Build deep. That’s how you become better developer. #frontend #javascript #developers #careergrowth #learning
Lol no. Framework is an actual tool. Like hummer. JS is a law of physics. You don't need to know quantum physics to be a good carpenter.
Absolutely true! Frameworks come and go, but strong fundamentals keep you adaptable and confident. Loved how you highlighted the value of mastering the core!

Agree !! once you have solid hands on JS... everything changes
100% Agree
It's hard to stay focused on the basics in the context of a framework or even set of libraries that demand typescript. You are constantly distanced from plain javascript.
