The teams working on Next and React are pushing things a little too fast. The problem is the bulk of the consequences of their actions fall on library developers and maintainers. Frankly Im not even sure why everyone is in such a rush to rewrite all the docs, components, libraries, and frameworks for the unpteenth time.

I had a junior on my team propose we switch our year old project to Next’s app router.

After telling him no, I became concerned that I was becoming all the lead developers I’ve worked with in the past that shut me down and, at the time, seemed to be holding back innovation on our team.

I get it now. I totally get it.

I don't believe Server Components are a make-work scheme for React specialists, but they feel like a make-work scheme for React specialists.

As soon as React started suggesting using a framework for their framework, the writing was on the wall. Nested frameworks are like the private equity and financial sector, smoke and mirrors abstraction that delight some, offend others, and make a small group richer and richer. The churn of “progress” is exhausting man
