A sad and troubling impression from #jsnation and #reactsummit was that a huge fraction of the frontend community is happy to drink at the nazi bar. They don't even seem to feel embarrassed about posting on xitter. 🤦🤦🤦

Wonderful time at #ReactSummit. I love this fancy coffee station 😁☕. Only problem is the heat, its 30° today - where is the swimming pool?

Keynote at #ReactSummit.

I travelled back to my childhood. Duke Nukem 3D at #ReactSummit

Here we go #JSNation & #ReactSummit.

On my way to #amsterdam for #JSNation / #ReactSummit

After remotely attending great #cssday full of great presentations by great people I'm looking forward to #ReactSummit and #JSNation. Again in Amsterdam, but now it'll be in-person!

And also second day of #reactsummit 2023. Again from my balcony enjoying the sun and birds singing 🐦🥰

We 💙 #reactjs & #opensource at @dailyco!

Last week, we joined fellow #developers at #ReactSummit & added our support to the #opensourceface wall.

This week we’re sharing a treasure trove of React resources for building real-time video apps.

Also yes I'm very confused by the power of 2 in the logo too.

React is 10 years old and they made a big deal out of that at #ReactSummit, but the logo implies it's 10^2 or 100 - but then there's a square root over 'anniversary' so maybe that's sqrt(100^2) so we're back to 10 again... I dunnooooo

Happy if anyone from #GitNation could clear it up, hahah

So in case you think #Mastodon will replace #Twitter in the (commercial) tech bubble: From thousands of participants, there where 11 different people tooting from the world's biggest JS and React conference. Eleven. #ReactSummit #JSNation

What a great end of the week with #JSNation and #ReactSummit Amsterdam. See you next year!

One big takeaway from #ReactSummit for me, is that the big players are hyper aware of the loading time/JS bundle size problem, and they are all keen to fix it.

Whether they couch that in terms of speed and fastness or whatever - the result is a return to SSR for portions of a site or a more complete static site made at build time, or only bringing in the JS just as it's needed instead of all at once on load.

A good thing. React is not going away any time soon, so I'm glad it's still evolving.

A very controversial sounding talk (given we're at #ReactSummit) "Should you use React in 2023?" is turning out not to be.

Their reasons for React:
- Familiarity
- Resources
- Ecosystem
- Performance (!) - glossing over its issues, by talking about the new SSR features.

Hm.

They have ended it with caveats - and experiences they've had where other frameworks were better.

It's a mixture of sunk cost fallacy, network effect, and inertia IMO. But also, a choice has to be made at some point 🤷

10 years anniversary of #React. Happy Birthday! 🎉 #ReactSummit
