This was a fun interview :)

Absolutely loved doing this! Thanks for being such a great sport. So many topics we could have spent hours talking about. The whole “what would Facebook have looked like, had it been built on the cloud” segment deserves its own episode :)

This was a great podcast! I would love a follow up episode where you get into more details on that and the other topics there weren't time for.

This is a really long transcript but I found it very interesting. If you are just coming to the comments I encourage to read the whole thing to gain more insight as to why it's not just a great idea but also the people behind it that is necessary to make something become as popular as React.

React has made me a happier developer and affords me a lifestyle to take care of my family very well. So I'm very thankful for everything that's taken place to bring React to where it is.

I got the same feeling many many years ago when I made the switch from PHP > Rails.

Edit: Why is this being down voted? shrug Must be 2 sad Ember devs... Badum PSSH

"and that’s why you don’t get an Angular 2 scenario with React because the people paying the price are the people actually making the breaking changes" Amen

This is why you should eat your own dogfood, right?
