In today’s episode of “Complicated things explained simply” 😅 – @eneajaho.me breaks down why JSX in #Angular wouldn’t be the same as in #React.

Clear. Precise. Just three sentences - and you get it. 👏

Highly recommend taking a look:

Keeping up with the rapid pace of #AI is tough. I went from VSCode to a #Cursor license, moved on to #ClaudeCode, and now I'm back on Cursor - this time with #ChatGPT 5. What’s next, #Gemini 3?

At least the light theme lives on. Imagine someone invents a "dark mode". God forbid 😅

It covers common use cases, like:
✅ Decoupling logic
✅ Cross-store communication

Also dubbed in multiple languages — including (ironically) German 🙃

Marko Stanimirović previewed the upcoming events (Redux) feature for @ngrx.io SignalStore at #ngIndia

🚀 Could land by end of April
🔁 Unifies global + component state

My take: The current SignalStore handles most global states fine, mainly smoothing the transition from the classic Global Store.
