I decided to finally bite the bullet and learn React yesterday. Every time they mentioned "we do it like this at Facebook" in the tutorial/docs, my eagerness died a little more. Even little tongue-in-cheek things, like their shopping list app consisting of companies they've acquired (Instagram, Oculus, WhatsApp) felt like a bummer.
- danabramov 8y agoHey, thanks for feedback! Regarding "we do it like this at Facebook" -- could you point out examples where this isn't useful, and we could remove them? I wrote some of these, mostly to highlight that if something works for a massive codebase with 50,000+ components, it will probably work for yours, even if it doesn't look familiar. I don't know what's an alternative way to say it without losing the core of the message. Regarding the tongue-in-cheek one. Well. I don't feel strongly about changing it if many people feel this way.
