I am one of those people who started reading a book on HTML when I was 10. I didn't understand a lot, but kept reading again and again and with 13 I understood enough context to create HTML websites.
For most projects I have been doing since it was either pure HTML, CSS wirh a few sprinkles of handwritten Vanilla JS, or Jinja2 templates with occasional PHP. When it got really complicated I used Flask or Django.
But to this day I never understood people who use js/react for pages that could have been handwritten with zero js in half a day (including a handwritten fluid CSS layout).
