How Fast Can You Learn React?

This is mostly just a rant about someone's semantic pet peeves, in which they set up and knock down a bunch of straw men in succession.

Nobody thinks you can start from a completely blank slate and learn something comprehensively in five minutes. But if you're already a JavaScript developer who has an environment configured, an editor you like, an understanding of what days looks like in JS, and you know what a function looks like, yeah, I can probably convey the marginal knowledge you need to know the very basics of react in about five minutes.

It'd be wrong for me to act like I could teach you EVERYTHING about react development in that time, and it's equally absurd for the author to claim anyone really believes that.

Clearly you haven't met any of the bosses I've ever had in the past 25 years.

If you take yourself seriously you should look to work under a different boss. Having bosses with such expectations could be dangerous for your wellbeing
