There's never been a better time to build websites

I already learnt most of what I need in one week. I was being pessimistic with 3 months.

If I need to know a particular event, I look it up in the documentation. The stuff you cite is just APIs, I can look that up too. I've used APIs before, you know. Right now I am piping data from Swift to Apple Metal and back, and write GPU code to estimate measurements from the FaceID camera in realtime.

Real programmers are coming to the Web, babe.

Furthermore, from what I see, a lot has changed in JS land. You can basically assume ES2018, with a few exceptions in the library, module systems are part of the standard now, and package managers seem to catch up with that. A lot of what you learnt what is older than 5 years about JS and accompanying APIs, you can basically forget now. Arguably, it might even be better if you had never learnt it in the first place. Because, let's face it, what was going on then was a hot mess of steaming shit.
