New video
• 3/4/2025Live reaction from React headquarters, which is facebook where it was created.
00:00 - 00:03 | The 2024 results are in |
00:04 - 00:05 | 66,000 github stars |
00:05 - 00:07 | From every city and country |
00:08 - 00:12 | There were a lot of familiar frameworks |
00:12 - 00:15 | And a surprise from Montana |
00:17 - 00:19 | Tell the React team |
00:19 - 00:21 | Congratulations, and send each dev a ham |
00:24 - 00:26 | Mr. Zuckerberg |
00:27 - 00:28 | React |
00:31 - 00:33 | React did not get #1 for Front-end |
00:34 - 00:36 | First place went to HTMX |
00:53 - 00:58 | Everyone who has never heard of htmx, laser horses, or Warren: leave. |
01:13 - 01:15 | Htmx? How is it possible? |
01:15 - 01:17 | Nobody actually uses it |
01:18 - 01:23 | You can't even make a dropdown with it |
01:25 - 01:28 | It's for toy apps |
01:29 - 01:31 | or fucking todo demo apps |
01:31 - 01:34 | it's not even a framework |
01:34 - 01:37 | it's a goddam library |
01:37 - 01:40 | it should have been disqualified! |
01:40 - 01:42 | Mr. Zuckerberg libraries count too |
01:42 - 01:46 | It's just one stupid file |
01:46 - 01:48 | Mr. Zuckerberg some people appreciate simplicity |
01:48 - 01:52 | Simplicity? It's spaghetti code |
01:53 - 01:54 | Where are the Components? |
01:56 - 01:57 | How do they hydrate the props? |
01:57 - 02:00 | It doesn't even have a build process |
02:00 - 02:03 | why would anyone put extra work on the server |
02:04 - 02:08 | when you can make the client do it |
02:08 - 02:13 | Html flying everywhere, they're animals |
02:14 - 02:16 | It just doesn't scale! |
02:17 - 02:21 | JS Rising Stars is irrelevant! |
02:27 - 02:29 | Give me a clean, pure json api |
02:30 - 02:34 | I want to feel the rush of client state! |
02:34 - 02:36 | Client-side form validation! |
02:41 - 02:42 | How can a library |
02:43 - 02:47 | used by back-end developers win the Front-end category? |
02:48 - 02:53 | it can't. it can't win. |
02:54 - 02:56 | there's no ui libraries |
02:56 - 02:59 | there's no jobs there |
03:00 - 03:02 | their logo is a horse |
03:04 - 03:07 | it might be a pickle, or a buffalo |
03:14 - 03:16 | did we go too far with React? |
03:19 - 03:23 | i mean, i can't even open the projects i made last year |
03:25 - 03:26 | skill issues |
03:31 - 03:33 | the node_modules folder is 950MB |
03:40 - 03:46 | what the hell is in there? it's a todo app |
03:46 - 03:49 | htmx is 10 kilobytes |
03:53 - 03:56 | it does suck tho |
