Going back through @ricky.fm's Async React as I prep an internal talk, and this part is insanely good, felt like it deserved a reshare🔥

I'm very happy about the evaluation of my talk at this year's W-JAX conference:

Quality of the talk: 4.67 (4.07)
Speaker's knowledge: 4.5 (4.38)

The number in parentheses is the avg of all talks/speakers of the conference. Rating is 1 to 5 with 5 being the best.

That motivates me to keep going!

Goodbye Hilla 👋
@vaadin.com recently announced the discontinuation of Hilla as a stand-alone product. To me, this marks the end of an ambitious project and a personal journey.
