    To be fair it took me couple of days to learn the basics of react. But I had years of programming experience, including other frontend frameworks like angular, angularjs, knockoutjs etc.

      To be fair, I know enough first aid and background information to understand some basic medical books, and I can 1000% guarantee that you never want me to treat you for any medical problems.

      Eh, lots of stuff can be easy to learn, difficult to master.

      Most languages only take a few minutes to do a “hello world” app.

      When you announce you’re comfortable with something, it probably depends on the scale of the apps you’re used to working on.

      So a junior dev could very well feel they’ve learned something like react after two days of cramming.

        A textbook example of the original meaning of Dunning-Kruger, wherein an inexperienced person is unaware of what they have yet to learn and thus overestimate their existing skills.

        This is a good point imo. They just don’t know the breadth of it yet. Being experienced also means getting a grasp of the amount of stuff you don’t yet know.
