A magnificent picture for React is starting to come into focus.

I do this, and also point at things on the screen, it's some kind of embodied cognition.
Habit: I talk to myself while coding. I find coding is easier when I verbalize my thinking. I basically pretend I’m teaching. This forces me to convey my process, which clarifies my thinking, and forces me to justify my approach. It’s like pair programming, alone.

No signals anywhere, straightforward to explain (just a function), great performance. The catch? It uses a compiler. That’s the vision for React.

A question I recently got on YouTube: "Is recoil overkill for small apps? If so, what would you suggest otherwise?" My answer: @recoiljs's API is very simple. So there isn't a massive set up cost to it. I think that makes it a great candidate for small projects. However...

Using the iPhone as a MIDI sound source: the capabilities are incredible, the UX is disastrous.
In computing we have a criterion for great tools: “Simple things should be simple, complex things should be possible”. I’ve started playing a new musical instrument that embodies this principle so well that it should be the canonical example...
