i feel so validated in that when someone first pointed me to "create-react-app" (several someones actually) like it's a normal way to do frontend dev in the year 201X/202Y i ran it, concluded the output was dogshit, got into a minor fight over it and then never touched it again

turns out it is in fact dogshit, professionals agree!

@dysfun @schrottkatze not only this but a lot of criticism of react and create-react-app in particular elsewhere
