I've chatted with a few experienced web devs, and from what I've heard, there's a whole group of "web programmers" out there that just learn React and other fameworks, but don't actually know how to code anything themselves. So many places won't even consider you if you don't know React.
And here I am still thinking jQuery is an excessive amount of page bloat.
This is accurate. I'm a full stack dev, and a huge number of job postings I've seen over the past ten years or so have switched to React.
