Don’t believe him, writing our own state management in every single project is what gets us webdevs up in the morning.
There is actually nothing more pleasurable in web development than setting up Redux actions and reducers then wiring it into the UI.
You wouldn’t believe how hard we get every time we write yet another useDispatch implementation, preferably with async thunks and memoized selectors, then have to write tons of mock structures to make unit testing possible. It’s like pissing blood during a prostate exam, you grow to love it after enough times. Definitely.
Switching from ReactJs to true native WebComponents.. Who knew for great statemanagement you can just use well proven enterprise oo patterns that I learned a long time ago when creating software was still fun.
He means the script is loaded and run before the DOM was rendered. Bit of a stretch calling that hydration, because you usually only would call it that if the HTML was prepared via SSR or SSG, not if its a fully static HTML from the start. And even if it would be applicable, its not about the rock not having been hydrated yet but it not having rendered yet, so the "hydration" fails because of it.
I expect that the people coding against a Typescript web framework have less knowledge / no knowledge of how a browser actually runs a web page. Instead, they have spent their time gaining knowledge about the build systems and such that turn ts into js for the browser.
Agree. I know that stuff because I started learning web development in the 90s and have seen many changes come and go (most people would remember marquee on almost every website back then - less people might remember XML+XSLT to create websites, which was never fully supported). If I learned web development in the last 10 years, I doubt I would know how the execution works in the browser and all the annoying quirks that come with it. They are fortunately abstracted away. Even back then nobody wanted to deal with it, we just had no choice. Everyone built their own libs to deal with it, until jQuery emerged. That was such a massive step forward.
I was referring to DOMContentLoaded. O
I was a bit cryptic but I mean that there are multiple ways to match the lifecycle. Still I'm probably, it was a long time ago
Late jQuery at the advant of react we started talking about SSR but it was too late by then, I used to use cherio the server side jQuery quite a bit for "hydration"

No useEffect infinite loops, no state management crisis, no build step. Just $('#rock').smash() and pure vibes.
