• Setup a new IDE with nodejs and whatnot , guessing the correct language features to target along the way. gently caress you, node, I hate you. Commonjs can go burn in hell.
  
• Get Vite set up and configured. This was after I tried Parcel first and found out that it was so opinionated as to be useless. Vite was decent, comparatively. A lot, mind you, but genuinely decent.
  
• Learn and setup Typescript. Technically optional, but Typescript is nice! Fairly easy to learn, integrates with Vite nicely, makes me code less stupid, and makes my IDE smarter. Thumbs up.
  
• Learn all of the new vanilla javascript paradigms that have cropped up since the jQuery era. loving async, man. Why the hell isn't await a top level keyword? Stop poisoning my functions. I hate it. It beats callback hell, I guess.
  
• Learn Vue (and associated libraries) and actually code the app. Actually fairly pleasant, compared to the above. It took me longer than I'd care to admit to figure out how get a value out of a ref in the same scope.
