Great video and points. I think the best case to learn it is someone who wants a job at an agency who specializes in gigs like this or has a separate department that does it as you mentioned where you previously worked was the case. I'm interested mainly because I thoroughly enjoy both React and Shopify Theme Development

Was just thinking about this. Your analysis is spot-on!

I've watched all the video, and agree with you. But there is a big BUT, unless you use github or other supported platforms, there is no build automation.
Lets say you want to include a npm package like Tailwind 4.0, you can't justify using theme 2.0 basics.

There are arguments that you support current existing themes, but they have zero to none structure. Just look at Dawn theme, it's a big mess of old and new(er) code.

Writing a theme 2.0 from scratch with github actions is doable, but a person uploading a zip is just not cutting it if you want CI/CD.

which niche is better wordpress theme development or shopify theme development for freelancing i have just finished front end course i want to niche down now

I’m a custom WooCommerce developer, and I’m considering switching to Shopify Hydrogen. It looks very straightforward and enjoyable to work with. Do you think it’s a good option for someone like me — someone who knows the e-commerce industry well, has implemented many stores, and is looking to try something new for their clients? Or would you recommend focusing more on building themes using Shopify’s default approach?

I'm interested about being a shopify developer, is there any chance to start from scratch without using platform upwork to find clients?
