Really? This steps you just listed are similarly complex to what's in that React article? No No bruh.... 30 screens -- down-button-presses down and we're still seting up for a frontend sample app. This is so so an issue, Node(backend), Go and Rails and Py aint got.

I'm not comparing my steps to the React article. I'm comparing them to the steps in the comment I was responding to.

Anyway, measuring steps in terms of "screens" is woefully inaccurate. For example, the author of the post uses more than one screen on simply running `npm init`, because he includes unnecessary paragraphs and screenshots. Many other parts of his post are even more verbose.

I could rewrite the first 30 "screens" of his post in 1-2 "screens". Would that mean that the process is suddenly 30x easier?
