Well said. It was frustrating how little he talked about the actual problems with the codebase, instead choosing to handwave and blame it all on React. The dig on the React team in particular was bizarre: > React’s team enjoy experimenting with new ideas, but this is killing the ecosystem! They should be brave and take the blame for it! Have to make a lot of assumptions with this sort of thing, but I can't imagine that attitude results in high quality engineering work.
