    Wrote up my approach recently in a blog post: - https://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2026/05/ai-thoughts-part-2... TLDR: OpenCode + CodeNomad web UI, Opus 4.6, bunch of customized plu…

    I've tried a few. Currently settled on `grepika` and `tilth`. They're not quite as comprehensive as I imagine I would want this kind of tool to be, but my agent has been able to us…

    Hi! I played a major part in getting that "installation" page rewritten to actually mention other tools like Vite :) The general TLDR is: - CRA was listed in the _old_ docs site - …

    Yup. I'm the primary Redux maintainer and creator of Redux Toolkit. If you look at a typical Zustand store vs an RTK slice, the lines of code _ought_ to be pretty similar. And I've…

    Hi, I'm the primary Redux maintainer. I'd love to see some examples of what got generated! (Doubt there's anything we could do to _influence_ this, but curious what happened here.)…

    I haven't looked specifically at Webpack's development lately, but having seen the overall activity and competition in the bundling ecosystem: no, a 6.x release seems unlikely, and…

    I used WinDirStat for years, but WizTree is _much_ better. It reads directly from the file system metadata tables instead of having to scan the whole filesystem, so the file tree l…

    Completely unrelated. - Immer (C++) appears to be roughly equivalent to Immutable.js ( https://immutable-js.com/ ): a set of specialized data structures - Immer (JS), on the other …

    I've never seen this kind of benchmark graph before, and it looks really neat! How was this generated? What tool was used for the benchmarks? (I actually spent most of Sep/Oct work…

    Like I said above and in the post: it was an attempt to generalize the data fetching patterns developed inside of Meta and make them available to all React devs. If you watch the v…

    No, but it's primarily because Meta has their own server infrastructure already. RSCs are essentially the React team trying to generalize the data fetching patterns from Meta's inf…

    We actually built a full-blown time travel debugger for Javascript at Replay.io: - https://www.replay.io/devtools

    Don't think Archive links work on Substack or other similar sites like Ed's, and this link stops at the paywall cutoff (ie just the free content portion).

    Hi. I'm the current Redux maintainer, and have been since Dan handed it over to me in mid-2016, one year after he created Redux. It's also worth noting that Dan never used Redux on…

    Because that's the responsibility we've placed on ourselves :) I actually did a recent conference talk called "Maintaining a Library and a Community" where I discussed how being an…

    Comment #45851551

    What "naming conventions and file structures" are you referring to? I don't think Dan ever really popularized anything like that for _React_. If you're thinking of _Redux_, are you…

    That's one of the main theses of the book "Die with Zero": - https://www.diewithzerobook.com/welcome Read it earlier this year and it definitely changed some of my thinking along t…

    React's bundling system and published packages has gotten noticeably more complicated over time. First, there's the separation between the generic cross-platform `react` package, a…

    Correct - Elm was one of several inspirations for Redux: - https://redux.js.org/understanding/history-and-design/prior-...

    I recently used https://github.com/okibcn/wslcompact to shrink a couple of WSL VHDX files, and it worked great. Looking at the source, it seems to use a `wsl --export` option rathe…

    I'm the primary Redux maintainer. FWIW, `connect` still exists and we have no plans to remove it, but it's also _very_ complicated internally and we honestly don't want people usin…

    Comment #44278409

    It's ironic you say that - I wrote the post, and I _maintain_ Redux :) FWIW, I can confirm that hooks have _not_ "eradicated Redux" - it's still the most widely used client side st…

    React's actual implementation is in the reconciler logic, which is then built into the platform-specific packages like ReactDOM and React Native. So, the `react` core package is ti…

    Sounds like another one of Dan's talks, "React from Another Dimension", where he imagines a world in which server-side React came first and then extracted client functionality: - h…
