I don't consider myself smart or a tech nerd, and certainly don't consider myself a real programner. I did rubbish at school, but ain't doing to bad in university (at 40).
All that being said I am massively confused by react and tailwind. I much prefer CSS and plain JavaScript. All be it I am not writing massive distributed billion-user applications.
The point of react is to let you manipulate the DOM with less effort than manually doing it while providing some additional controls through things like hooks. Tailwind is similar, you get standardized css styles that you can use without thinking too hard.
