A few comments to resolve on structure mainly, but looking good. I think it'll flow even better when more of the other HackPacks are done, and we can link to them throughout.

Do you actually need to be advanced to use JS/TS? They're not super complicated languages to pick up, and I think you'd lose a lot from being limited to a static HTML frontend or certain Python frameworks. Could maybe differentiate between the different frameworks instead?

Personally, I am not quite familar with the frontend frameworks, so do help me check my updated flowchart.

Me neither tbh, let's double check with the team tonight. It's likely as well that there'll be a more detailed comparison between frontend frameworks on the base frontend dev HackPack as well.

Created Getting Started hackpack to guide beginners in setting up their development environments (specifically, VS Code, Python, Node.js).
Note that this HackPack links to many other different unpublished HackPacks, so we need to verify that the links actually work in the end.
