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

Yeah. Although I don't miss having to implement my own state management in every single project.

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.
