Is this design pattern correct?

I stumbled upon this post on how to create a full stack web app with node and React, in the post he use create-react-app to start and then jus installs express and creates a server.js. Now this goes against what I have learned about making a Node React project. Typically you would init your node project and then create a client sub directory to then use CRA to bootstrap the react front end. Does this matter? Or do they achieve the same purpose? Is this considered bad practice?Here is the link: Full Stack Development Starter #1 — React and Nodejs
