"React is too complicated, just use vanilla".me with 1673 lines of spaghetti in home.js.
As always please try to build your app with vanilla js if you think it’ll be simpler. It’ll either be a superb learning experience, or you’re building something trivial. Also, this guy is a consultant whose entire job is to embed with the most incompetent teams in the industry.

Passing tests is easier than creating useful software. If they help you move faster, good. If not, drop. Don't mistake writing tests for making progress.

There are no memos in here btw.But I do use React Query to load data with stable object identities.
@Swizec One example was making a div based canvas that allows user to add custom components to it and move it around. My solidjs based implementation was literally one component and almost trivial js. To make it work in React I would had to divide it up carefully and memo a lot.

Do yourself a favor and get Project Hail Mary as an audiobook. Feels like listening to some dude’s podcast. It’s perfect.
