Confession: I have never used SSL during local development and don’t see the point. 🤷‍♂️

REACT! Just got caught up on all the posts 😅 I'm near the top of the list of people who could justifiably complain about how they've handled communication, community, and technical details of the project But I'm not going to 🤗 With a spotlight as big as theirs, you're gonna find some warts--real and imagined--as you would with anybody imo React is still the best rendering library for the web and the people behind it are just doing their best, and actually doing a great job Fighting against it is going to set the web back a few years if you're successful. React has been been leading the pack for a decade now because it keeps raising the ceiling for UX with wonderfully encapsulated abstractions. Denying this is silly because every alternative looks exactly like it now They're doing it again with RSC, as part of the work they've been doing for several years that's finally coming to fruition. RSC is a solution to many problems most developers don't even know exist, that's why many people think it's "too complex of a solution" for the ones they do understand. As a framework author (and web developer since before JavaScript was created) I see them as absolutely revolutionary. If you can't acknowledge this, I'm not sure you've spent enough time on the front or back end of the stack of successful products with varying audiences. Yeah, the React team has fumbled the ball a few times in the last few years, most especially by accidentally torching relationships with prominent members of the community who didn't go work at facebook (I'm not alone, I have many DMs) and then accidentally coupling to Vercel But they're fixing this in earnest, and none of it was malice (I'd say just incentives) In the near future you're gonna feel like a kid in the candy store again building with React and we'll all be posting cool stuff we're doing instead of complaints, like it's 2014 all over again 🎉
