React/JSX reads better than other framework templating because

  1. It's easy to differentiate the composed DOM from JS logic, since any logic is expressed in JS rather than mixed into the JSX DOM.
  2. JSX maps directly to the JSDOM API.
If you know vanilla JS, JSX is a low overhead abstraction.

Except it only has a query-based cache, rather than a normalized cache by type name and ID. This means a deeply nested component running a mutation to update an entity can’t update the state of a component a few levels up purely with the response to that mutation, it instead needs to invalidate the cache and cause the parent to requery, much less performant.

Well obviously you should know better than to listen to what people say on Twitter, since it's dead.

I guess Sierra Nevada was a big influence early on, and since then I’ve come to appreciate a large variety, from more hoppy offerings from the likes of Russian River, Lagunitas, Stone and recently Almanac, to lagers from Pacifico and Dos Equis, several prominent Belgian brands, and some local sours. I enjoy a wide variety, but always thought of Anchor Steam as bland, malty, and mediocre, on the same low level as Fat Tire, to name a comparable brand.

That said, I’ve only had it bottled, never on tap.

You can often use route params or location hash for communicating state sideways if shared context is overkill, with the benefit of making the state bookmarkable or accessible in the history.

I like using utility classes and single-concern components for pretty much everything, so selectors don’t have enough styles for it to matter.

Difficulty of digging with the tools they had, inability to stabilize the structure to prevent cave-ins, lack of pumps to remove accumulating water, insufficient ventilation and filtration technology/unable to deal with poison gases, inability to light their environment without contributing to the poor air quality, difficulty accessing resources like food and clean water, lack of desire to live in a damp, dusty hole.

By “vendoring” dependencies, I’m guessing you are talking about pulling them out of node_modules (into a js/vendor dir), and checking them into your repo, repeating the process every time you want to update. I will make an offering to Cthulhu if it’ll ensure we won't be using webpack and node 10 years from now in order to build those old snapshots without considerable effort.
