How abstract is this book? Are there many examples of things that are relevant at meta today, especially on the web and developer front?

Lowercase f is very visually similar to t. Hopefully no bugs occur from a typo

+1 have had multiple bugs arise because the state in the variable was not the same as the UI / DOM. Haven't had any problems a pattern similar to yours.

If you have the edge case of lots of update (assignments to .name) then just wrap the `.name = ...` in a leading debounce.

1. Then add the 6 updates to the "setter" function 2. What UI has the same data presented 6 times? Seems unnecessary

Another great post!

I like the abstraction of server components but some of my co-workers seem to prefer HTMX (sending HTML rather than JSON) and can't really see any performance benefit from server components.

Maybe OP could clear up - Whether HTML could be sent instead (depending on platform), there is a brief point about not losing state but if your component does not have input elements or can have it state thrown away then maybe raw HTML could work? - prop size vs markup/component size. If you send a component down with a 1:9 dynamic to static content component. Then wouldn't it be better to have the the 90% static preloaded in the client, then only 10% of the data transmitted? Any good heuristic options here? - "It’s easy to make HTML out of JSON, but not the inverse". What is intrinsic about HTML/XML?

Also is Dan the only maintainer on the React team who does these kind of posts? do other members write long form. would be interesting to have a second angle.
