This, very much so. One of the (few) things I genuinely love about modern frontend web development is the speed of the edit loop with React and hot reloading. Look, I'm an engineer; _writing code_ is my jam, not clicking pretty widgets in a (nice!) UI. It's genuinely faster for me to turn an image in my head into a functioning component by just writing out Typescript or CSS; the abstractions are less leaky, and the escape hatches are literally at my fingertips rather than requiring an extra jump or two.
Put another way: if I have to take my hands off the keyboard I've already lost.

Alternatively: if there were some high bandwidth, low latency feedback loop between you and this app, an order of magnitude faster than how you currently iterate on working with React, you’d consider it?
