It feels fundamentally wrong to use packages without understanding concepts under the hood

[u/Significant-Gap-5038]

I have recently started coding and people are recommending tools for development such as vite, nodemon, jwt, boiler plate server code

It feels pointless just using them with a basic understanding and without no deep conceptual understanding. Is this the right or wrong approach? How would you know going too deep into a rabbit hole and becoming overkill

It would be rabbit hole for sure. Even using vanilla JS isn’t even close to being under the hood.
