I manage the React team at Facebook. Only a couple of us have been on the team since before Dan, and I don’t think anyone resents his public persona. Quite to the contrary – Dan do…

At Facebook most of our thousands of web devs use Nuclide for remote editing on a repo with hundreds of thousands (or millions) of files and it works as advertised. We don’t use NF…

I don’t understand what requires a web view here. You should be able to do anything another app can do (especially if you’re willing to write some custom native code, which I assum…

Do you mean the big green button? You can usually click the first track to start playing in order.

Use Prettier and never look back.

Browser extension? I know Millenials to Snake People caused this at one point.

No. I work at Facebook, and we don’t block any sites except ones with malware.

React team here. I think this is largely true. We’re already working on tackling a lot of these rough edges; see a recent post I made to learn more: https://facebook.github.io/reac…

Yes, making the source easy to understand is definitely valuable (even if only for our own team's understanding). I believe Django's "functionality/(API surface)" quotient is still…

Thanks! * Links to source: I use these frequently in other libraries, but I don't think this would be as useful for React, because we tend to have just a few functions each with a …

I work on React. We've worked really hard on our docs, so it would be helpful to know what you don't like about them so we can improve.

Likely yes.

Certainly there are downsides to any setup, but due to React Native's large ambitions I'm unsure if it could have ever been created by an independent community. There is a lot of w…

Yes, we'll likely support some form of this. It's important for controlled native components too (ex: text inputs).

Most of the code is in the repo in React/Fabric/ and ReactCommon/fabric/ but unfortunately it's not runnable yet due to some missing dependencies that aren't currently in the open …

This is a pretty unrealistic view of how big companies work. Engineers aren't fungible, and no one has been "pulled off" of React or React Native to anything like you suggest. Reac…

Your plan of sharing business logic sounds good. We don't currently have any recommended way to share code between web and iOS/Android, although I'm hopeful we will at some point i…

It's not unheard of to have "sponsored" issues. In this case though, none of the commenters on that thread work at Facebook. It doesn't mean the issue won't be fixed if no one spon…

No concrete plans, but I'd love to see it happen someday!

Hi! I'm the author. Let me know if you have questions that aren't covered in the post.

Wasn't really a response to either actually. :)

> I re-wrote my entire teaching syllabus for my programming course to use Vue instead of React, simply because it's much better to maintain Vue apps rather than React apps after 6 …

It’s not. They are both web-based but otherwise unrelated.

Agree that law enforcement is the best venue for this, but if you email me details (sophiebits at fb.com) I can forward it to an appropriate person in HR. I don't believe we have a…
