It's worth clarifying that Isaac, the engineer behind Draft.js, also basically built the entire thing himself. He did it inside a large company of course, but it was his labour of love for a long, long time.
This is the type of cool stuff you get to work on at Facebook, come work with us :-)
- bikamonki 11y agoAfter dropping thousands of Parse.com devs in the middle of the desert (albeit giving each a small bottle of water), you won't find many loving fans of the FB around here...
- detaro 11y agoBit dramatic, don't you think? The parse.com shutdown was done very professional, and many people seem to be totally in love with React.
- bikamonki 11y agoMaybe dramatic, but it did turn me into an anti-FB evangelist. If Parse did not align with FB's core there where other options than shutting it down (sell, split-off, turn it into a foundation, etc) but the fact that they just closed like that, disregarding its thousands of users, dropping tons of labor and cash, seems more of a signal of what exactly is going on behind the wall. My take is that services like Parse empower small shops/tiny startups and that is exactly what goes against FB's all-involving growth/power strategy. Maybe React will be like that too: so you want to develop FB (or Whatsapp) apps? You MUST use React... We'll see how this plays out.
