summary
Recommends bootstrapping with create-react-app (npx start, build optimizations) and sticking to React fundamentals first; Eventbrite uses Component CSS today but would choose emotion for new projects because it mixes CSS and dynamic styles; data fetching uses the native fetch API, routing is React Router though Reach Router is preferred for accessibility, complex shared state warrants Redux or MobX, Immer replaces heavy immutable libraries, forms dominate (claims 75%+ apps are glorified forms), testing uses Enzyme and the React Testing Library.
