Yea. It's hard to tell what's true anymore. I thought Russia would be out of resources in 3 months. It's been 4 years. I thought Rafah would survive. It's completely flattened. Thought global markets would crash after tariffs. It has survived.

I'm convinced we're in some kind of propaganda machine right now.

If you think launching a rack costs 100k, I think you need to continue your napkin math or youre not being true to yourself.

A GB300 costs about 70k, a rack is 72 of them.

The cost to launch is less than 2% overhead. Its is extremely feasible.

I used to watch him a lot, but he started talking about AI (I work at a big lab) and it was all wrong, so I'm not sure if I can trust his analysis anymore :(

This is not true. Its about 200ish devs now on x side. Rest are other functions, and its not close to 2800

This guy is crazy to write an opinion article without examples (only the opinions) and without expertise or understanding of the history, the current solutions, and their differences.

React is bad is youre bad. Its much more fundamental than other frameworks. It also paradigms shifts from imperative to (more) functional. So if you are not comfortable with closures and side effects (like the author), you will get lost.

None of the pattern from any framework is new. Theres only so many ways to design systems, you either use callbacks, observers, or events. All have their pros and cons (where imo observers and events are inferior due to their quick branching factor in larger codebases). React gives the option to use any of these.

React is bad in the same way C++ is bad. It's not really, but it does take a while to learn the ins and outs. In the end, the pattern React provides is much more powerful when used right. But it's not a one size fits all, a lot of the time you don't need the flexibility if you're new to it and just want to get something done.

Right? If anyone likes 2 way binding they should have tried Polymer. 2 way binding is disgustingly complex for large projects and that's why everyone eventually drops it.

Wow saved. I miss the amazing blogs and thoughts of people at Google, but unfortunately I don't miss the bureaucracy
