Lessons learned as a React contractor

The point of create-reaact-app is that your build process is zero configuration.

The deepest pain point of JavaScript development is undoubtedly build configuration i.e. webpack and babel.

If you stick with create-react-app then you manage to remain in a zero build config world, which is a happy world to live in.

Really? Perhaps I've been doing this too long, but once you get your head round the basics I really don't think it's that bad

Is there a resource you can recommend to get your head around all the basics?

The new Webpack docs are great ([0]). Also, my React/Redux links list ([1]) has a couple sections on Webpack tutorials ([2]) and Webpack advanced techniques ([3]) like Hot Module Reloading, file chunking, and build optimization.

Right, but even upon ejecting I still retain the ability to build/start/test with one command, the only difference is that the build/start/test scripts become static
