The few that didn't it was easy to get notes from previous years from sharing websites.
At worst you could get notes from friends.
You really only went to TA practice sessions π
I thought it was generally accepted that the Nazi party wasn't socialist in any way despite the name.

PR review for junior/mids has become a lot more time consuming and madness inducing.
Implicit type conversion. Even back then, even in a scripting or teaching language, that's just such a dark bottomless hole of hair pulling bugs that I can only imagine it was done as a practical joke and went too far.

It seems unlikely to me that the principal would not extend to RSC on it's own

In this blog post I share the tools we ended up with in melio to get smooth developer experience in a serverless heavy organization.

First time that AI changed the nature of the code I write and not just how I do it
I had cursor write a typescript parser to read comments in code to enrich an openapi file. If I didn't use AI, I would have chosen an uglier solution. The cost vs value wouldn't be worth it without AI.
How about writing a blog post on "when not to use RSC?". Or "the tradeoffs you get when using RSC?"
In one of your earlier comments you said sync engine proponents don't differentiate what scenarios it should be used for. It feels the same with RFC honestly.
I don't know there's a reference. You do offline sync when data is containable and highly reusable - where you'll use database per user pattern is a good indicator.
Social networks, marketplaces, e-commerce don't usually work well. Best use cases are SaaS.
You don't really do social networks as offline-first (even if they have a cache). If you take firebase as an example, security rules on server define filters for data out and reject on data in. When all data is local, aggregations are always cheap.

Let me tell you a secret: There are bad developers. Not that 1x vs 10x trope. Just developers who are bad at writing software, who can't understand complexity and you can't trust with production.
Coding with AI is not like working with junior developers, but working with bad ones
