See how these work between the two frameworks:
‣ Deferrable views vs Suspense
‣ Deferred data
‣ Incremental hydration
‣ AI tool calling

Thrilled to share my new role as the tech lead across frameworks at Google! My initial focus is boosting productivity with AI.

While this means I'll be less hands-on with Angular with fewer public appearances, I'll be supporting the team and the rest of Google more than ever 🚀

I've been working on Linux over the past day after more than 10 years of using macOS and I clearly remember why I switched.

It's a memory test for knowing poorly named tools, their arguments, and dealing with version incompatibilities.

Glad I can reuse my dotfiles, at least.

Where do you find yourself getting stuck/annoyed when building web apps with LLM assistance (using Copilot, Cursor, etc.)?

It's often hard to merge large pull requests due to:
- Lack of alignment in the design
- Not obvious breaking changes

For the first one, a conversation with someone on the team will help. For the second one, we'll know once we run all the tests in Google and let you know.
