There’s no REST in Remix, at least not in the original sense of REST. But that’s also true of most JS web frameworks, where many use REST to mean “some API endpoints that speak JSON”. (You could do REST with Remix, but I really don’t think

Is MS auth better? Does that mean Active Directory? We're in the middle of a migration from in-house auth (which we need to get rid off) to Okta and I think the people involved are finding Okta pretty confusing. But it's a big pro

Yeah. There's a lot that Elasticsearch can do. There are libraries and applications that can do bits of what ES can do, but no-one I'm aware of (and I watch this space) is even slightly close to building a genuine replacement (I

People don't directly import thousands of modules. It's actually a lot closer to your "10 stable dependencies". But those dependencies have dependencies that have dependencies. It's a little hard to point the finger

I was going to disagree, but then I tried to think of a market Google has successfully entered in the last five years and I couldn’t come up with anything. For sure it’s not game streaming (Stadia). Anyone got anything?

Yes, it is false. Anyone in the space can tell you how stable things have been for years now. Plus, there are a lot of people writing JS. It’s not a tiny community fracturing itself over different ways of doing things, and becoming destin
