Passionate Christian, drums lover and if you need help to build a web application, I can help you with that :)
I'm currently working but open to new opportunities

A React app or whatever app developed for web/mobile doesn't fit in Voice "apps" experience. The only thing that (maybe) you can reuse is the same API that the mobile/web app uses to get/store data. Voice Skills for Alexa or Actions for Google Home are a totally different experience for the user and for the developer. For an Alexa skill you can complete this tutorial to understand the basics of the development of an Alexa skill. Understand the concepts of utterance, interaction model, etc. Study the code and build your own trivia Then you can start using the framework from the company I work to build Alexa skills called Voxa . It's really easy to build Alexa skills and the project is in constant active development to keep up with the new Alexa features and soon you'll be able to use Voxa to build Google actions too. Good luck.
Well code folding is useful for me when I need to hide code that I'm not editing and just focus on the code I care in that moment, specially when I'm working with pieces of code that are very far from each other for some reason. Mini maps are useful for me to check if the size of my code is reasonable based on the feature I'm working on. I don't find them as an anti-pattern, use the features when they are useful, if not, well don't use them and that's it.
I think jQuery being so easy to learn and use, you won't spent a lot of time learn it in comparison with React or Angular. Try it for fun one free afternoon or evening, it will be a nice to have. If you don't learn it I don't think it will be the end of the world but a LOT of websites used and are still using jQuery. You'll never know when you are going to encounter with a project that use jQuery
I think he's referring to the way popular libraries like Vue and React works when dealing with templates of their components. Vue uses a JS-in-HTML approach which is what we all are used to because that's how a "normal" webpage works. React uses JSX which is basically HTML-in-JS, like writing the HTML inside the JS code. Is not about a template library or engine per se
