The constant changes are getting annoying. npx create-react-app no longer works. It give instructions that it is no longer supported. It wants you to uninstall a global thing. You uninstall the global thing. It doesn't work because it asks you to reinstall the global thing. Then it leads you to a link that says you have to uninstall the global thing. Angular is looking really good right now.
