I didn’t, thanks for letting me know! With other platforms penalizing us for using links I just kinda assumed that BlueSky would be the same
I sat down with @danabra.mov, one of the core React team members since the early days

We talked about,
✔️ React Server Components and Modern React
✔️ the Next.js App Router
✔️ Burnout and how the React community has evolved - both technically & personally

I learned a lot & you will too

i think the @react.dev Compiler team could include more of this type of messaging. i'm being a bit inflammatory here (and Haskell may not the best analogy), but the principle of "pure things are safe to move around" is fundamentally simple and has been known for decades. teach it to new generation!
React 19.2 useEffectEvent ✨

Ever add a handler inside an effect, put it in the dependency array & suddenly… re-renders forever?

That’s usually because your handler changes identity every render so the effect keeps tearing down & setting up again

useEffectEvent fixes this! 💪

decided to revamp the auth pages a bit with this animated and interactive chart from the Vemetric dashboard ✌️

Over on the second channel I sat down to chat with @theadminbar.com about WordPress! I haven't touched WordPress in almost a decade, so I had a lot of questions about how things have changed over the past 10 years... and of course, I had to ask about the drama

🍿 Underrated Caching Trick, My Next.js Conf Talk Reveal
I’ve got some fun news to share 🎉 I’m beyond excited to share that I’ll be speaking at the official Next.js Conf 💖. I’m one of the featured speak...

Stop Refetching the Same Data 🍿

Why make your users wait for the same work again and again? That’s where "use cache" comes in.

Mark a route, component, or function as cacheable → repeat work is skipped, your app feels faster ⚡

Watch your TTFB drop with use-cache!
I'm buying for sure! Good luck Josh, I'm sure this launch will be massive as I love how you breakdown complex topics plus animations make everything very magical so folks would want to learn that!
It's official!! 🥳

I'll be giving a talk at the official @nextjs Conf on October 22nd ✨

My topic is "Architecting and Scaling my Custom Course Platform on Next.js"

Can't wait and hope to see you there! If you'll be in SF, would love to hang so let me know :)
I just moved to Italy 🇮🇹

If you are in Italy or EU, let me know and would love to hang!
These micro interactions are beautiful✨

Why bother with modals for confirmation when you can use inline real estate?
P.S. Want to go deeper? This is just one of the concepts we explore hands-on in the Modern Full Stack Next.js Course where we build 7+ real-world apps and tackle performance, server components, caching, and more.

Stop Freezing Your UI 🍿

Imagine you go to a restaurant 👩‍🍳 a server comes to take your order but until your food is ready, you're frozen

That's the reality in your browser 😅

If you press a button, your entire UI freezes, unless you fix this, you won't be able to do anything.
