I'm not going to let go my argument with Dan Abramov on x 3 years ago where he held up rsc as an amazing feature and i told him over and over he was making a foot gun. tahdah!

I'm a nobody PHP dev. He's a brilliant developer. I can't understand why he couldn't see this coming.

I'm not defending React and this feature, and I also don't use it, but when making a statement like that the odds are stacked in your favor. It's much more likely that something's a bad idea than a good idea, just as a baseball player will at best fail just 65-70% of the time at the plate. Saying for every little thing that it's a bad idea will make you right most of the time.

But sometimes, occasionally, a moonshot idea becomes a home run. That's why I dislike cynicism and grizzled veterans for whom nothing will ever work.
