Agree with this.

I tend not to use "quick starts" especially when using something new since you a) don't learn the internal gubbins b) are more fucked when something breaks.

When I started with WebPack and TypeScript I deliberately started from an empty webpack.config.js and an empty tsconfig.js and added in stuff as I went at the end I had a decent understanding of what everything in both files actually did and they only did what I wanted.

I've never found a quick start that helped me (in terms of total time) since the time spent fixing it when it breaks always exceeds the time taken from just doing it manually the first time, after I understand what I'm doing then I'll consider the quick starts.

Poi is a good webpack wrapper for vue. Is a webpack with zero config
