The React Omerta still hangs over it (Reactors aren't allowed to say "this isn't working" until an FBer does), but Shopify buying Remix is, in my read of the tech, a cutting critique of RSC.

They tried it with Hydrogen, it...um....exploded?...in client-side complexity, and for the good of the product, needed an alternative that wasn't in the San Mateo dogma.

For the avoidance of doubt: the design of React Server Face...er..."React Server Components" was *always* going to be a slow disaster, by inspection.

Why?

Because *any* component in a page could pull in a HUGE dependency graph if it was marked to run on the client.

Requiring perfection in component structure is not a solution to...

[ checks notes ]

...imperfectly structured client component deps.

“In 1570, he led several of his fellow enslaved people into escaping from the plantation, and together they established a palenque, a community of freedpeople.

Yanga’s palenque grew to include other escaped slaves, such as the group led by Francisco de la Matosa. The community eventually caught the attention of Viceroyal authorities, who tried to subdue the palenque in 1609. Yanga’s forces successfully defended their population….”

Not the worst part of frontend's Lost Decade, but the way the industry beclowned itself with trivially falsified claims of "better experiences" has meant that a cottage industry sprung up to gaslight folks who brought evidence to the party.

They succeeded in putting up gates around frontend such that folks can't get in unless they're *also* willing to beclown themselves. You shouldn't have to wear a red nose to put a button on a screen.

“…Anton Wilhelm Amo was kidnapped at a young age by Dutch slave traders and brought to Europe in the early 18th century. He was meant to be a “Kammermohr” to Duke August Wilhelm of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel, a term in German-speaking regions in the colonial era to describe black servants from Africa or other “exotic” regions kept as status symbols at royal courts.

But instead of accepting his destiny as a servant…”

I tried out RE2 on the N64 and it was a great reminder of why I mostly stick to turn-based games. My attention wandered during the opening cutscene and when it suddenly ended I got immediately dogpiled by like 5 on-fire zombies

It's wild how different my perception of myself is compared to other peoples.

This is definitely one of the causes of my trust issues! I'm trying to get better though!

Slowly I am beginning to see the (allegedly) beautiful girl in the mirror.
