Some highlights (part 1) from

- In short, nobody should start a new project in the 2020s based on React

- the struggle is to convince managers and tech leads that they need to start with user needs

- With the advent of multi-page view transitions, MPA architecture PWAs can present fluid transitions between user states without heavyweight JavaScript bundles clogging up the main thread. It may take several more years for the framework community to digest the implications of these technologies, but they are available today and work exceedingly well, both as foundational architecture pieces and as progressive enhancements.

- Most social media experiences involve a small, fixed number of actions on top of a server-owned data model ("liking" posts, etc.) as well as distinct update phase for new media arriving at an interval. This model works well with a hybrid approach as is found in Hotwire and many HTMX applications.
