My React Miami talk is up!

Thank you so much @MichelleBakels for an amazing conf🙏 And props to the sign language interpreters for handling all my nerd speak with aplomb.

...and rip every Remix mention that's about to be laughably out of date in a few months 😭

Who are the citizens who keep voting for these people? This is what abject societal decay looks like

So here's a story about the Düsseldorf University Hospital where heart patients are sweltering in 38°/100.4° temperatures right now because this 15-year-old building lacks central A/C.

I taught at the law faculty of this university for 15 years. When the law faculty built a new expansion in 2005, I asked whether it would be air-conditioned. They said: "No, because then every building on campus would ask for it". I thought to myself, "Well, that's Europe for you. Crabs in a bucket."

Then the university announced plans for this new building, the one you see in the picture, which would be the main university hospital. That was in 2013 or thereabouts. Shortly thereafter, they published the plans and sketches online. No A/C infrastructure visible.

At some sort of faculty function, I asked the dean or assistant dean of the medical faculty whether they were going to install central air-conditioning on this building. "It's no problem if lawyers are brain-fuddled because of the heat -- in fact it might be a bonus! -- but surgeons? Patients?"

The dean answered: "Well, we asked, but the construction board and city officials said no, because if this new building gets air-conditioning, then all the older buildings on the university campus will demand it."

"Even though this is a fucking hospital?" I asked with typical American coarseness.

"Yes, even though it's a hospital," responded the dean, staring with chagrin into his beer.

And so now dozens of people recovering from open-heart surgery are bathing in their own sweat. Across the country, thousands of people are dying in un-air-conditioned hospitals right now.

As in all former heatwaves, there will be institutional pressure at all levels to attribute their deaths to underlying ailments, not the fact that they sweltered for over a week in brutal temperatures.

I got too busy pounding vodka sodas at a rando airport bar in Charlotte I forgot to get a Dunkin breakfast sammich before they closed this is how I get cum gutters for Key West next year I’m already fucking winning lfg 🚀

[Adam Rackis @AdamRackis]

@caiobchi Bahahaha hell yeah that’s some American style corruption love that for y’all

[Adam Rackis @AdamRackis]

My American brain cannot comprehend needing to “ask” the government for permission to install air conditioning.

Do these people understand they don’t have to live like this?

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

🇫🇷 France is baking in the heat.

People are begging for air conditioning.

The Environment Minister is "horrified" by the requests because... climate change.

Her own ministry, of course, has AC running just fine.

Europe’s green agenda in action: you suffer, we don’t.

@JoelStransky oh shit for real? hell yeah

[Adam Rackis @AdamRackis]

Why did the one React Core team member who decided to stay on Twitter and do DevRel also have to be the one core team member who’s a raging fucking asshole lmfao can we get Dan back???

[Adam Rackis @AdamRackis]

@Swizec @switz213 Yeah and honestly the TanStack implementation is phenomenal.

[Adam Rackis @AdamRackis]

Both things are true:

1) RSC is one of the most impressive engineering achievements in frontend in a long time, and the people who built it should never have to look for work for more than an hour for the rest of their lives.

2) RSC has a _ton_ of perf footguns, which greatly complicates the mental model you have to carry around. Nested loaders with streaming, and react-query ssr integration is a much, much simpler model, and arguably more powerful.

With TanStack Start + Query you can invalidate one individual piece of data, and have that piece of data re-load in isolation: even if it was fetched during the SSR pass.

It's the best of SPA / SSR in one.

[Tejas @ AI Engineer World’s Fair (AIE WF) @TejasKumar_]

next.js has genuinely lost the plot. partial prerendering, server components, "use cache" and all their other primitives are so easy to get wrong, and when you do, your performant app becomes unusably and exponentially slow.

its like the useEffect footgun expanded in scope to a lot more app-wide surfaces to the point where its not a footgun but a minefield.

[Adam Rackis @AdamRackis]

@hicsfh bahahahaha. Admittedly I did not click through to his profile - has back pic makes it more obvious.

Great account lmao

[Henrick Johansson @compliantvc]

It will be over 40 degrees (104 degrees Fahrenheit) in the American city of Tucson, Arizona today

Dozens of people like likely melt

Yet American media is dead silent on this

Instead, they obsess over the heat wave in Europe

Worry about your own warming climate, Americans

[Adam Rackis @AdamRackis]

@izs Fascinating. I don't want to be remotely demeaning or insulting in any way ... it's only shocking because straight men tend to have the same reaction as straight women in your OP. That's all.
