Dan is hands down THE best captain to steer this ship - he manages to push react forward even though it changed a lot (and faced many growth pains and challenges) in the last few years. He is doing it in his own special way - he is kind, thoughtful, patient and visionary. He is the best kind of master teacher there is - although he has many many years of experience, he understands exactly what newbies don't understand. That's inspiring.

Read a few of his many comments in any React issue and see what I mean. We are truly gifted. Dan you are my idol!

He got famous because of "redux" and "hot module reload" and then he got hired by Meta and started working on react.

This was before the hook era.

You're free to say thank you but acting like everyone else here should is weird. There are a lot of good points.
