    forget this "reverse an array", "fizbuzz", or "write a binary tree" nonsense. a real interview would be "you are given a broken function, an error message, and access to Google searches and Github issues. find out what the hacky workaround based on issue comments and fix it"

    I continue to be amazed at how many learners seem to almost deliberately avoid reading the actual official docs for the tools they're trying to use. I keep seeing folks asking for Udemy courses and "best tutorials" and stuff. Why do people avoid reading actual docs?

    As a library maintainer in the React ecosystem, I'm getting pretty frustrated by the churn around React Server Components. Really starting to question whether the touted benefits are worth the pain being inflicted on lib maintainers:

    Just posted "A (Mostly) Complete Guide to React Rendering Behavior", a 5000-word treatise on the nuances of when, why, and how React will render components, and how use of Context and React-Redux affect the rendering process:

    Things I have to keep in mind when publishing a library in 2023: - Build artifact formats (ESM, CJS, UMD) - Matrixed with: dev/prod/NODE_ENV builds - Bundled or individual .js per source - `exports` setup - Webpack 4 limits - TS `moduleResolution` options - User environments 1/
