As a Turbolinks fan, I couldn't be more excited about Stimulus. Sounds like it completes the front-end development story with Rails-like simplicity minus requiring that you know Ruby and Rails. I started off as a FE dev working on mostly Rails projects. Not knowing Ruby or Rails, I depended on others for updating controllers, debugging Rails errors, etc. I was also commonly frustrated when my teams treated the client…
For things like auth/signup/forgotten-password flow I'd agree I've been more productive with server-side frameworks than client-side, and the out-of-the-box solutions for those things from Rails/Django feel more solid. Also basic blog and structured content 'pages' sites. For building anything that requires complex client-side interaction, i.e. the sort of things that even warrant looking at React (e.g. a calendar ap…

I'm a fan of Turbolinks too (started using it on its day 1 release), but nowdays you don't even need Rails to use it effectively. It integrates with any framework very easily. Stimulus is a new upcoming framework for sprinkling in bits and pieces of JS. DHH talked about it on https://twitter.com/dhh/status/946184709528158208 .

Maybe a typo? A search for 'ruby rails stimulus' brought me right back to the root comment. About to listen to the podcast. Will report back if I learn anything.
This was a teaser - it's not out yet.

I believe Abramov was the first to say, “You might not need Redux.” What prompted that?
Interesting to see Rails simultaneously embracing React with the Webpacker gem while also trying to offer a better solution in Turbolinks + Stimulus. DHH's complaints here about React (and Redux especially) resonate with me, but I have a hard time believing a React-less approach is the best solution. I'd rather Rails roll its own enhancement of Redux - and perhaps CSS management - alongside a handful of component gen…
Love that he's bringing attention to CO2 build up & air quality in offices. I can't stand those modern "energy efficient" buildings with no open windows.
It seems wrong at a moral level. Especially since smoke detectors and carbon monoxide monitors can be bought for $10-25.
I know nothing about making a co2 monitor but other than marketing hype, the willingness to function at optimum efficiency and not die of oxygen deprivation, is there anything about it at the hardware level that warrants it being 10x the price of other sensors?

I was really surprised to see how expensive co2 monitors are (about $110 USD). It seems wrong at a moral level. Especially since smoke detectors and carbon monoxide monitors can be bought for $10-25.
