I felt the same about iTerm until I started using it, and still feel the same about Alfred (have it installed but reverted to using Spotlight instead). iTerm's great for the features it has that the regular terminal doesn't. Fulls

Minor correction: you mean i18n, not i10n. There's i18n, and l10n, meaning internationalization and localization. Internationalization is about the code abstraction that enables for strings to be swapped out for languages. l10n is a

Yeah I had the same double-take at the question. Pretty sure he's specifically talking about server-side rendering of React or other SPAs. The article talks about how they used React and handled rendering of components.
