This is a bit of an experiment. Probably the longest essay I've published directly on my website. 🙂

Liskov's Gun: The parallel evolution of React and Web Components

Web dev at the end of the world, from Hveragerði, Iceland

@baldur Absolutely amazing work. There's so much cool stuff on the web and the infighting makes progress slow. We need to work together to make the web better, not fight over whether my tool is better than yours (although with that I have to say that React sucks). Everything has a best application and even though I love the fringe experiments that explore the edges of certain tools, let's not treat those as confirmation that they should be used in those contexts.
@matovius Thanks! And, yeah, the web has so much untapped potential.
