As a backend who finally bit the bullet and started learning react a few months ago, my #1 learning resource has been ChatGPT.

I can tell it what I want it to do, iterate on the idea and see how it changes. After I did that a few times I was able to tinker myself on the project and again ask ChatGPT how to improve the code.

Perhaps it’s just my learning style, but it has been really refreshing experience to learn with something(someone).

Same... I especially love pasting in a screenshot along the outerHtml from chrome devtools and ask "make those aligned on the same line, the thing with the text on the right" and it finds the right combination of flex and margin values on elements.

Feels like a huge burden lifted off my shoulders

Yes, learning with ChatGPT is indeed a different experience. 1 problem I generally face with GPT is their old knowledge base, at times they will give you codes for older versions of technologies. I faced major challenges with vue and angular js in getting the latest information.
