Hey friends So some of you may be familiar with my super simple start
series of blog posts. I've got like six or seven of those and basically theidea is let's strip down everything else outside of the thing that we'retrying to focus on and just bring in the abstractions or tools that are100% necessary for whatever whatever it is we're learning and that means ifwe're talking about CSS variables or custom properties, that means we'renot bringing in Webpack or any of that nonsense, it's all just index HTMLand then style sheets and stuff.And we're talking about react same story. We get rid of the build tools
just get rid of all of that stuff and see how minimal we can make somethingwork just kind of the hello world of this. We we don't care about whetherthis solution scales or anything and the idea is if we can separate thespecific thing that we're trying to learn from all the extra things youneed around it to make something practical you'll understand a lot morewhat the the role of that thing that you're trying to learn is.And so,It just has helped me enormously where with regard to working with
node modules like native ES modules or even the native ES modules in thebrowser. And so this is something an approach that I take when I'm tryingto learn something new or maybe when I'm trying to introduce something newto somebody as I try to just pair it down as much as I possibly can toremove all of the noise and just focus on what we're trying to actuallylearn and it's been really effective and so I wanted to share that with youas an.Idea if there's something that you're trying to learn and you want to just
really get a solid grasp or understanding of a specific technology orwhatever then try to make a super simple start to whatever it is thatyou're trying to learn. And I think that you'll find it's surprisingly easyto do typically or it's a lot easier because you can just ignore a ton ofother things that we always have to think about when we're building realapps.And then it also helps a great deal and actually being useful. So anyway, I
hopeThat's helpful and I hope you have a wonderful day.
