This is what Vercel is pushing into React code. The caliber of their work is low, very low. They are con masters with MBAs
- refulgentis 3y agoThat's awesome work. You don't like it for aesthetic reasons, pre-conceptions of aesthetic purity. That's fine too and I think I agree. But it's awesome work.
- meiraleal 3y agoGo ahead. It is all yours, awesome work is simple work. Vercel wants React to do everything so they can sell everything. Not to me. That was a sad takeover of an open source project tho
- Rapzid 3y agoI like to joke that because Vercel doesn't make money when you run components in the client, and React is now made for Vercel, that React is now developed for backends. I'm a big fan of OSS projects being sponsored by companies that use them for a higher level business. Vs a ton of the C# ecosystem where they try to sell you the library/framework. But hosting businesses ain't it when it comes to frameworks.. It creates weird incentives.

- junon 3y agoThey are objectively not that, lol. If you don't like what they're doing I understand but please don't disrespect people you don't know.
- meiraleal 3y agoThat's what you get for working in a famous company that took over an open source software. If the destruction of React by Vercel paid your bills and you feel disrespected by my total despise for this get rich fast schema (a la crypto rugpulls), that's a problem for you to solve, not me. Edit: but in reality I'm happy and thankful to Vercel for imploding React, it helped me to finally check that there are so many better options nowadays.
- junon 3y agoHow did Vercel "destroy" React? How are they a "get rich quick" "rugpull"? Respectfully, you have no idea what you're talking about.
- reducesuffering 3y agoDan Abramov, de facto lead for React, said that the React team was driving the vision behind the new features in React. Vercel just said, "how can we help? You guys think server components are great, ok, we'll make them first class as that's where the React ecosystem is headed." Vercel is doing nothing but trying to improve DX for all the things people complain about React.
- aurareturn 3y agoI started using Next.js in 2017. It made React a real production framework. Prior to Next.js, React was hard to setup and maintain and hard to make it go fast (on first load). Next.js solved the worst React problems. I don't think it ruined React at all. I think it helped React gain in popularity - which you might interpret as "destruction".
