The more I use them, the more I think React Hooks just aren’t for everything! State objects are still much better imho, redux toolkit is 🔥

Something I struggle with is not replying to things for ages, but then when I do reply, not knowing how to start and apologise. So I been trying some different approaches… “Sorry about the slow reply, I’ve been away training as a lion tamer but it all got a bit out of hand.”

Cloud providers are missing these services, product devs want! 1) Image resizing CDN (Imgix style) 2) Infraless database (Postgres, MySQL, no infra, pay per row) 3) Feature flags service 4) Algolia/Meilisearch like search API 5) Temporal like async/workflow tooling
