Intuitive Tooling
summary
TypeScript reads like a new language with an empty-array default of type never and baffling import forms, Redux piles jargon plus async middleware like thunks and sagas, GraphQL gets mistaken for charts, Gatsby hides unpredictable magic (yes people joke about deleting .cache), and flexbox floods names that all sound the same. A company mentorship program with regular one‑on‑ones helps, and concrete actions follow: use feel felt found when teaching, ban "easy" and "simple" from claims, and show not tell while keeping a short learning journal.
