Want to be a real frontend developer in 2025 and beyond?
✅ Learn your frameworks.
✅ Learn your tools.
⚠️ But master your fundamentals.

Otherwise, you're building castles on sand. 🏰🌊

But they are tools, not substitutes for knowledge. 🧰

Knowing how to wire up a component isn’t the same as understanding how JavaScript works under the hood. The irony? These frameworks wouldn’t even exist without JavaScript.

We’ve created a generation of "frameworkers" — developers who proudly say “I know Angular” but can’t explain a closure, don’t understand hoisting, and stare blankly when asked about the event loop. 🧠💤

Frameworks like Next.js, Angular, and Remix are incredible tools—I use and respect them.
