Nothing highlights more acutely the massive gap between React and every other modern framework than working with form inputs.
Building forms in React, after having done so in literally any other modern framework, is like going from this year's iPhone to a 2004 Blackberry.

Ok, is the #frontend community ready for a showdown about React Server Components? Igor Minar, a co-creator of Angular, thinks RSCs will "destroy React." @slightlyoff says that RSC technology “creates a delayed ambush-by-JS effect.” On the other hand, Theo Browne "couldn’t recommend Server Components highly enough.” All this and more in my latest article (with special thanks to the experts who helped me get a handle on this topic: Igor and Alex). https://thenewstack.io/frontend-schism-will-react-server-components-destroy-react/ #React #JavaScript

I kinda figured out the gimmick, but there's one part of the puzzle that just does not make sense, because you literally have to break the rules of crosswords to solve it, and I have no idea how you can reasonably expect players to get that.

Any time I see a new developer-written screed against their company's system, I always wonder to myself: "are you sure you don't just suck at communication and interpersonal relationships, and have managed to convince yourself this system is the actual problem to shield yourself from the discomfort that growth would bring?"

I've noticed most cishet male developers tend to be much more intellectually smart than they are emotionally mature.
I've also noticed this means that when they encounter friction (which they frequently do, because of this imbalance), they're experts at crafting amazingly convincing arguments why the thing causing them discomfort is wrong and bad, when in reality, they're just highly sophisticated children throwing meticulously crafted tantrums because they hate being forced to grow.

Today I saw this React hook (see photo) get shared on birdsite. It enables one to “automatically scroll down when new messages arrive in a chat”.
While it might work, you could — and should — use this little bit of CSS instead:
```
.log {
scroll-snap-type: y proximity;
align-content: end;
}
.log::after {
display: block;
content: "";
scroll-snap-align: end;
}
```“… remains snapped to the bottom …unless the user has scrolled away from that edge” — https://drafts.csswg.org/css-scroll-snap/#example-d0a2d86f

`el.className` and `el.htmlFor` have such unusual names because `class` and `for` used to be reserved words in JS. That hasn't been true for property names for 10+ years.
Firefox is experimenting with adding `el.class` and `el.for`, yay!
