How abstract is this book? Are there many examples of things that are relevant at meta today, especially on the web and developer front?
Does it account for "pit stops"
Where?
Does tech crunch actually report tech stuff or is it all “X raises Y” type posts?

Lowercase f is very visually similar to t. Hopefully no bugs occur from a typo

+1 have had multiple bugs arise because the state in the variable was not the same as the UI / DOM. Haven't had any problems a pattern similar to yours.

If you have the edge case of lots of update (assignments to .name) then just wrap the `.name = ...` in a leading debounce.

1. Then add the 6 updates to the "setter" function 2. What UI has the same data presented 6 times? Seems unnecessary
It would be cool if all the HTML tables on Wikipedia were put under individual datasets

Another great post!

I like the abstraction of server components but some of my co-workers seem to prefer HTMX (sending HTML rather than JSON) and can't really see any performance benefit from server components.

Maybe OP could clear up - Whether HTML could be sent instead (depending on platform), there is a brief point about not losing state but if your component does not have input elements or can have it state thrown away then maybe raw HTML could work? - prop size vs markup/component size. If you send a component down with a 1:9 dynamic to static content component. Then wouldn't it be better to have the the 90% static preloaded in the client, then only 10% of the data transmitted? Any good heuristic options here? - "It’s easy to make HTML out of JSON, but not the inverse". What is intrinsic about HTML/XML?

Also is Dan the only maintainer on the React team who does these kind of posts? do other members write long form. would be interesting to have a second angle.

I wonder what takes more compute power: this or a blender render farm?

There is a new type checker called Ezno that is written in Rust and is a lot faster [1].

I have been tracking PRs like [2] that change the definitions to better be optimised by V8. But the effects are only ~30% and not the 50x that might be achievable by native.
