They are silly assumptions, especially for an open-source project trying to gain mindshare.

Laptops have been outselling desktops for decades, and the idea that Apple users are some quirky tiny minority has been false for just as long.

Blender’s UI just makes bad assumptions.

I wouldn’t call Blender’s UI particularly great either. The assumption that you have three mouse buttons and a separate number pad is pretty crazy.

Video editors use high-speed network storage.

Except you only need to eat that hardware cost once a decade.

Except they already paid taxes on that one billion in cash. The receipt of that cash is taxable income.

Investments aren’t money. They’re just things you own, and their value can go up and down. They don’t affect the money supply.

Hezbollah attacks nursing homes and football games. How is that justified?

So you’re paying attention to the last few weeks instead of the last several decades.

Where was this outcry? Hezbollah made northern Israel uninhabitable for years.

Now we’re blaming React for bad UX?

Since when has war not been awful? I don’t remember anyone complaining when Hezbollah attacks Israel though.

You swipe backward. Been that way for twenty years.

No, Apple has one built-in messaging app: Messages. It switches between SMS, RCS, and iMessage automatically depending on the capabilities of the devices.

Don’t think I’d call 4K at 32” high dpi.

If JFK and Stalin were strippers, there’d be a comma after Stalin to denote the parenthetical clause.

It’s actually the opposite. The corner radii are defined by the window type and the concentricity of its elements.

People who lack attention to detail just think things are randomly different.

Harris had all sorts of good things planned at home. It’s baffling to me that some voters thought it was more important to lose the election.

That was a React vulnerability, not a Next one.

I really hope React Native’s support for Mac and Windows apps takes off. The benefits of Electron without Chromium, plus native controls/functions.

Eh, this argument falls apart for many reasons:

- His main example of bloated client-side dependencies is moment.js, which has been deprecated for five years in favor of smaller libraries and native APIs, and whose principal functionality (the manipulation and display of the user's date/time) isn't possible on the server anyway.

- There's an underlying assumption that server-side code is inherently good, performant, and well crafted. There are footguns in every single language and framework and library ever (he works for WordPress, he should know).

- He's right to point out the pain of React memoization, but the Compiler now does this for you and better than you ever could manually

- Larger bundle sizes are unfortunate, but they're not the main cause of performance issues. That'd be images and video sizes, especially if poorly optimized, which easily and immediately dwarf bundle downloads; and slow database queries, which affect server-side code just as much as browser-side code.

React sites are easily static.

This problem was solved a long time ago with CSS Modules.

Fortunately, short CPU bursts are most of what most people do. Race to idle!

Hyphens please.

Safari started supporting it over two years ago.

It's not that the entire crew is compromised medically, it's that logistically if one goes home they all have to.

Build pipelines, bundlers, CSS frameworks with their own toolchains, progressive web apps, Core Web Vitals, SEO, layout shifts, and srcset/responsive images have nothing to do with client/server rendering.

Isn’t the alternative Android?

Windows doesn't require a computer?
