Ahoy Shipmate,
Last week, Cassidy Williams wrote Kind of annoyed at React, and I wholeheartedly agree with her train of thought.
In it, she mentioned that the latest React release was in June 2022 🤯
That made me peek at the release note again, reminding me that React Server Components (RSC) are still experimental.
And together with experiences like:
Every time a new developer picked up our codebase, the questions came up: “What’s running on the server? What’s running on the client?” Every PR had feedback regarding something accidentally/unnecessarily shipped to the client.
mentioned in Everything I Wish I Knew before moving 50,000 lines of code to React Server Components it makes me cautious, very cautious.
But it’s always a good idea to try to understand a concept, and for that, I recommend Josh Comeau’s post Making Sense of React Server Components.

💌 weird wide web hole — Salma (whitep4nth3) asks “Want weird stuff in your inbox?” and your answer should be “Yes, please!”
🛠️ mmm.page — A different kind of website builder that I highly recommend. Their tagline, “Websites don’t have to be so cookie cutter,” is spot on.
📺 If Pixar Made Programming Tutorials — I enjoyed how he breaks down the feature into small manageable chunks.
