Everyone: Hey, if you are on a vacation, please add it to this calendar.
@ryanflorence : Wait, let me first break it.

@dhh Is price even a factor for you?

@ianlandsman I gave up on Arc pretty quickly and back to Chrome.

The issue is, Arc is drastically different that you have to re-train your brain to use it.

After some time I started questioning myself, what's the prize for all this pain?

The tagline for @github REAMDE project should be

"Uplifting the uplifted"

@joshmanders PlanetScale will be acquired by the end of this year.

@designerdada But the other person knows the unsubscribe buttons are supposed to work.

So why not respect their decision of unsubscribing?

[Andy Charles @Charles6Andy]

@aschmelyun JS ecosystem took it seriously. We cringe on frameworks from last week

[Andy Charles @Charles6Andy]

@Jordy_vD_ @flaviocopes What if I want to drop React in an existing page for interactivity. The original intent for which React was created.

[Andy Charles @Charles6Andy]

@devagrawal09 @kasvith @webdevcody Okay. Let's talk with some absolutes.

You have to build to AirBnB with React, how your tech stack will look like?

Let's ignore the scale. Assume 100 people will use it everyday and we need the exact same features set

[Andy Charles @Charles6Andy]

@y_molodtsov @thekitze @anthonysmendes Abandoned 🤣

[Andy Charles @Charles6Andy]

@thekitze @anthonysmendes Can't stand it. Chrome is way simpler and better.

@rajeshdavidbabu @webdevcody @devagrawal09 No one needs it. React is a frontend library, but the triangle company wants to sell it as a fullstack option and it sucks

[Andy Charles @Charles6Andy]

@devagrawal09 @kasvith @webdevcody This dude is in full on devrel mode. Just defend the ideas, no matter how bad they are.

Please build a decent app from Scratch in Laravel or Rails and rebuild it in so-called meta frameworks.

You'll be amazed to find React is just a fucking view lib and it should stay that way

[Andy Charles @Charles6Andy]

@devagrawal09 So, if I need a static blog and I use RSC to render those posts.

Nextjs will still make network calls for what? I have already sent everything during the initial page load

[Andy Charles @Charles6Andy]

@Dominus_Kelvin @cassidoo Aren't you the guy who says Ship Less JavaScript, but also think React is on a good path

[Andy Charles @Charles6Andy]

@joshmanders Either this project will have massive success or it will be used as an example to not try and do multiple things together.

They are fucking reinventing everything.

Soon, there will be Bun OS

[Andy Charles @Charles6Andy]

@devagrawal09 They were difficult or non-existent in React. Not with existing backend frameworks

All the React devs minted during the last decade are not backend engineers. They don't want to deal with DB queries.

There is misfit. You are selling classical instruments to Sousaphone users.

[Andy Charles @Charles6Andy]

@devagrawal09 Isn't RSC all about running your code on the backend, accessing the services your server has access to. Like the DB, mail server, Redis storage and all?
