Adopting a new framework can be tricky. IMO it's okay to write about "the process of learning" to show that it isn't always a breeze. Posts like this can give perspective to both learners and experienced practitioners.

Speaking for myself, I've enjoyed learning React, though looking back on my first project I can see I've made some pretty bad mistakes with my use of state. I don't know if there is a guide I could have read to avoid these mistakes, or if I just needed to struggle through it.
