@jasongorman I've managed to almost completely avoid React.js in this way and have come out the other side where "SSR" is the new hotness despite having done nothing but SSR since 1996
@rgarner@jasongorman Same, I have tactically avoided putting significant life force into a number of trends that felt "off" to me, React, k8s, extreme microservices and proprietary cloud services among them. I know enough about these things to happily leave the deep expertise to others, preferably far away, and in competitors' businesses rather than my own.
@rgarner@jasongorman amazing what you can do if you just skate directly to the puck rather than renting a generalized puck-location-finding, ice-polishing, skate-grinding mobile operations centre from ex Googlers.
