Sounds simplistic but it's one the best, fastest teachers. Think up a sample project like a more advanced todo app and try to build it. Do some research along the way. Use create-react-app to get up and running fast as well as boilerplate example projects on github to see how others have used it.

No company can thrive with such a cynical view of its talent. Also, since it's impossible to be creative and negative at the same time, I'd argue this is counter productive at its core. There is a LOT of great psychological/sociological work out there done on this subject. Look at TED talks for some good examples (if you can access them).

Ironically, this growth simply could not have happened without great advancements in hardware over the past couple of decades. Yet, the capacity for hardware to scale both up in volume and speed as well as down in size and mobility has been outpacing software's ability to utilize what's available/possible (invent markets). Software will be everywhere even if the risks of building an energy-hungry, interdependent, and security-starved system such as this is not taken into careful consideration. As they say, follow the money. Check out this graph from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. You'll see that in the top table under Fastest Growing Industries "Computer systems design and related services" and to a lesser extent "Software publishers". Under declining industries you'll find "Computer and peripheral equipment manufacturing". While I don't think I'd make the case that software is everywhere in the foreground of everyone's conscience it would be fair to say that as time goes on it will increasingly retreat into the omnipresent background of our daily routine lives and increasingly be taken for granted.](https://hashnode.com/forums/thread/software-is-eating-the-world-do-you-agree/comment/58485acf9747b36ae2a2885a) Comment · Thread · Dec 7, 2016 · 4 · ["Software is eating the world!".
