> "Quickly" using the JavaScript tooling is somewhat akin to watching one or two episodes of the 6th Game of Thrones season without watching anything else. You really need to watch season 1-5 to understand what's going on.

I disagree. In both cases, you really only need one or two episodes to know that the story is not going anywhere. It will only get more complicated and convoluted without ever rewarding you, you will realize that no thought was ever put into it, and you will only stay for the ride because of sunk costs.



That's nice and all. Unfortunately, (to stay in the metaphor) the PM has arranged to quiz you on the main plot points of season 6 three days from now, so your best option is to find a good plot summary for seasons 1-5 on Youtube somewhere.


As time goes on the breath of questions increases so necessarily the depth must decrease, due to all the history of the language (JS, C# or whatever). You are not a code now you are an archaeologist. It was so much easier in the year 2000!
