React Server Components: do they improve performance or make it worse?

If your answer is “I’ve no idea 😅,” I wrote a deep-dive to answer that! Experiments and real numbers, CSR vs SSR vs RSC, same app + test setup.

Focus: initial load + data fetching.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.

Just fuck you. Fuck you all.

I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

I’ve been working with #.NET for the first time the last couple of days, and damn, this stuff is nice.

Lots of new patterns that I have to get used to, but so far so good 🎉

Researchers have found two new vulnerabilities in React Server Components while attempting to exploit the patches last week.

These are new issues, separate from the critical CVE last week. The patch for React2Shell remains effective for the Remote Code Execution exploit.

“achieves remote code execution on the server”

Ouch..
There is critical vulnerability in React Server Components disclosed as CVE-2025-55182 that impacts React 19 and frameworks that use it.

A fix has been published in React versions 19.0.1, 19.1.2, and 19.2.1. We recommend upgrading immediately.

Actually huge.
ECMAScript excitement 😉

Congrats to my coworker @ashley-c.bsky.social at TechAtBloomberg on advancing Await Dictionary to Stage 2.7 at TC39 today 🎉

Promise.all returns positional results as an array. Promise.allKeyed allows named results inside an object 👍

Figuring out where an infinite rerender comes from has got to be the best feeling ever.

Even if it took a couple of hours. 😭

fuck vercel, fuck Next.js, fuck Svelte, fuck Turborepo, fuck SWR, fuck SWC

Posing with the architect of a genocide for sales leads is an insane and deeply immoral stance

these projects cannot separate themselves from the CEO of the company who funds them
