Had the honor of rebuilding/migrating the official @Reactjs docs and blog from Gatsby to Next.js last year. Awesome to finally see it live and all the new content. Will post a full write up soon. Congrats to @rachelnabors and the rest of the team for shipping!

Posted a Reddit reply last night to my "How Web Apps Work" series, and it seems to be a big hit: reddit.com/r/reactjs/comment… > These are awesome. I wish I'd had these as references when I was learning and it was always taken for granted that everyone knew how http, etc worked. 1/2

When you're teaching something you can't just say "and we have to do this and I don't know why." You have to dig and figure out why, which is the reason you learn a LOT more about a thing when teaching it than you do when just using it.
