It is very straightforward to pick up. Unless you hire code camp devs who only ever learned React, no actual CS topics, anybody should be productive within at most a week.

While true this is divorce from organization’s hiring practices. I have to fill out a form to request someone and htmx won’t be on it. You will get someone who only know react and will stomp their feet as to why can’t we use react. A lot of bootcamp programmers are cert jockeys who don’t care or know about development, not that they can’t learn.

For the sake of your organization, get them to add a fill in the blank on that form. Picking a tech stack based on the options on an HR form is a sure way to end up using ancient tech. HR is failing you.

I would go so far as to say if you can understand React, you can understand HTMX.

If you can understand HTML, you can understand HTMX.
