Early adopter indeed 🙌

I’m reaching the age of “checking my bag is just objectively easier so I don’t have to lug it around the airport and the 10-20 minutes to pick it up at the end don’t actually impact my trip” 👴🏻

Nice talk man! I was able to listen to the livestream on my drive to the airport. I’ll have to go rewatch the video once it posts

This is definitely not the case and is the reason I’m not playing golf with @jim-nielsen.com and @ricky.fm this week

Gotta wonder if the Remix folks intentionally planned Remix Jam the same week as React Conf, just two days day after 😳

Matt Brophy @brophdawg11.com · 5d

Yeah IIRC we announced a week or two before and then realized ViteConf overlapped (which I think announced before us and we didn’t realize it) and then we heard the ReactConf announcement 😂

Can’t wait for ViewTransition. Trying to wrangle an asynchronous imperative DOM API into declarative concurrent React under the hood in React Router for <Link viewTransition> was *tricky* and I would love to delete all of that code

Just announced at React Conf - New React API available in canary:
🔥 <ViewTransition>
🔥 <Fragment ref>

Particularly excited for Fragment Refs, exposing platform-specific APIs such as:
- addEventListener()
- observeUsing()
- focus()
- getClientRects()
- scrollIntoView()

Really excited about some new observability APIs we’re noodling on in React Router. We want to make it very easy to know how your app is behaving for real users.

Alpha releases are available now so hit me up if you want to do some early testing. Hoping to land some unstable API after Remix Jam.

Yeah that was exactly my reaction. It was like “ok, yeah I guess that’s sort of neat.” And then he showed the scrolling and I perked up 😂

Whiteboarding with coworkers is the thing I miss the most about in-office work

I have one in my office but it’s not the same vibe when you’re whiteboarding solo 😂

I've been a bit bearish on usages of LLMs in non-trivial cases, but I will say that it's quite good at refactoring existing tests. After I change an API which breaks all the current tests, being able to run them in watch mode and watch the failure count go down 1 by 1 is satisfying as hell

My apple watch died from water a few months ago. Apparently they are not water proof, only water "resistant" so not sure why they advertise it for swimming 🤷‍♂️. Anyway, it pissed me off enough that I decided I was going to instead just start wearing real watches.

I’ve been told in the past by EV owners that they are, but I’ve paid a lot of attention since then and honestly don’t know that I’ve ever heard an EV making noise while going forward at slow speeds

Matt Brophy @brophdawg11.com · 24d

Electric cars should be required to make noise when going <10-15 mph. Just had one almost clip me from behind as I was walking to my car in a narrow parking lot.
