This is why I prefer Progressive Rendering + Bootstrapping. I’d love to see more frameworks support this approach:

Please don't import SVGs as JSX. It's the most expensive form of sprite sheet: costs a minimum of 3x more than other techniques, and hurts both runtime (rendering) performance and memory usage. This bundle from a popular site is almost 50% SVG icons (250kb), and most are unused.

It's also important to note that while science occasionally finds evidence that turns all our interpretations upside down, it never finds evidence that controverts evidence. Relativity didn't toss out Newton; it just added a velocity term that, for most terrestrial purposes, is 0

I don't get how the default @code is usable at all. All the suggestion crap triggers me and turn it off right away. I wouldn't mind if its just strictly helpful, but when you get in the away of my mouse or cover up the code I'm trying to write or consume my keypresses, oh boy.

My one tip for organizing code: If two files are usually edited together, combine them into one. That is, organize your code to minimize the number of files (or directories) that the average commit needs to touch.

Unpopular opinion: To run a project successfully, you generally need two kinds of people: those who are good at execution and those who are good at challenging the status quo, and need to strike a healthy balance between them, they need to see eye to eye, and respect each other.

@Google you should know @sourcetree is having people enter Google credentials in an unknown window. For all I know @sourcetree is stealing my password. App passwords do not work.

Redux is a stupid fucking event emitter with a disproportionately excellent ecosystem of tools built on top of it. I wonder what the opportunity cost of that ecosystem is; imagine if those tools were built on top of something other than a stupid fucking event emitter, like React.
