As a novice javascript programmer, I am hugely confused by the variety of tools being recommended on Hacker News. Choosing and setting up tooling was harder than writing my first app in React. Not a new complaint, I know, but:

Is there anything like a best practice in modern javascript development that someone can point me to? Or is there a site that gathers the setups used by prominent front-end developers? Thanks for any advice.
