Whoaaaa that’s way better than the local one I have access to in Boston

I had the EXACT same fear of becoming a dad.

I was terrified I’d screw the whole thing up.

Now I’d argue being a dad is the thing I am the best at in the world. That was such strong advice from the Dr.

I mean I don't want either

Creating a commit with multiple authors - GitHub Docs You can attribute a commit to more than one author by adding one or more Co-authored-by trailers to the commit's message. Co-authored commits are visible on GitHub.

Uncle Bob says we should pair program, and co-author commits

That’s great and all, but you still need to care about yourself and your place in the world

Is it really debatable that every change to the performance of the cars is geared towards entertainment and not performance?

If we can agree on that then you have your answer.

We want maximum performance, and May the best team(s) win

Well he better kick ass

Selfishly streaming ergonomics (if they can be improved which I don’t predict) would be very welcome.

Selflessly docs on the whole seems the most benevolent

I guess if they stay at js.org then that makes it hard. Trying to think of maybe other ways to handle it.

But I guess so long as the sites link to each other as they do now it's still ok

can you at least coalesce them behind a single domain, using subdomains to host each one?

Style Guide | Redux Redux Style Guide: recommended patterns and best practices for using Redux

it might not be practical, but my FAVORITE thing @acemarke.dev did with Redux was add the style guide/best practices.

Not sure if a great resource like this exists, is feasible, or anything like that - but this was a godsend to help our team migrate to "modern" redux redux.js.org/style-guide/

the well-worn post on X saying "this is the real React 18 release" is a good example of the fear "you're leaving me behind" has (I know we already litigated that).

I'm not trying to say you're actively doing a bad job, just mentioning a fundamental tone that I think would help

Legacy React APIs – React The library for web and native user interfaces

Here's an example of what you guys do to say what _not_ to do. The fact it fits on one page I think points to what I mean.

react.dev/reference/re...

I think utilizing this more, like "if it's not listed here, we _actively_ support it" but not only is this not very visible, I don't see it discussed

Perhaps being louder about aspects that are TRULY being deprecated would serve you well as a counter balance.

“If we were killing this feature we’d do so the same way we killed (fill in the blank)”

Like createClass still works but is actively discouraged.

Be loud with what you actually discourage

Best advice I can give is do not ever say anything new is “ideal” or even hint at “this is what we want everyone to do”

I think we can all handle “here’s a new tool for your tool belt” but any amount of “this should be your first tool of choice always” will make us lose our minds

No you shut your mouth Wes lol

‘Merica

Going to monorepo first then React 19 across the board in the coming weeks for all apps

Nice!

By the way I did land that React 18 PR I spoke about back at #EpicWebConf lol

bsky.app/profile/jimm...

define it and how merely existing there makes it so.

I’ll wait

But it’s sad because this place is so hostile. I don’t fit in well.

My impact has been better here than over there.

Not that I expect to be in a position to capitalize on it, my impact is so tiny.

It’s just what little impact I have seems stronger here.

My update:

bsky.app/profile/jimm...

React 19 next but before that we’ll migrate to a monorepo.

This should be less intense (I hope)

🎉🎉 PR Merged 🎉🎉

PR Merged!!!

Fuck. Somehow left behind my sling with our passports in it.

Thankfully the airline has it and called me in to retrieve it

Yesterday in the tunnels there were too many cars in stealth mode with the heavy rain.

Pretty dangerous!

Anyone on here ever been pickpocketed?

Anyone lose something and only just now think it might have been a pick pocket?
