I read a blog of a fresh grad describing ‘this’ keyword in JS. The conclusion he/she had by the end of the article was ‘don’t use “this” keyword unless you are JS expert’.

I always see a pattern with these things. Usually if you don’t learn the language well enough, you probably are also not spending enough time learning the frameworks well enough, and you probably are not learning the DOM/Browser well enough, and you probably have not learned CSS well enough. You will have no choice but to hide behind the frameworks.

The people that just learn React or the latest ES6 think they know good enough JS, but when I see their code I see clear patterns of poor abstractions, separation of concerns, the kind of code that makes you want to take a shower after touching it.

Been there. Those who assume or are hubristic enough to think they know enough can be dangerous.

I'm curious, do you have a link to the blog post?
