    PSA: @GatsbyJS is not just for "sites". It produces static HTML and then rehydrates into a React app. Think of it as an opinionated CRA with built-in SSR and nice integrations w/ CMSs. Please use Gatsby to build apps. Thanks for listening. Happy Friday and happy developing.

    This Reddit thread is hilarious. A bunch of web devs reverse engineering reactjs.org trying to understand how it's so fast. Hint, it's built with @gatsbyjs :-) reddit.com/r/webdev/comme…

    2018 review - started company with best friend - got married to (different) best friend - helped hire an amazing team - wrote a lot of great code - hired better developers than me so retiring to product/eng/company management 😎 2019 has got a lot to live up to!

    People talk about REST vs GraphQL and miss the most basic basic advantage of GraphQL — it lets you just declare what data you need and it shows up — exactly when you need it and in the exact form you described. Eliminates so much complexity and nonsense around fetching data.

    New feature for TanStack DB — Paced Mutations. Perfect for sliders, auto-save forms, etc where you want to immediately show optimistic updates but control how often changes are persisted. Built on the awesome TanStack Pacer library

    npmjs.com/package/subfont is phenomenal. Automatically extracts the exact characters used with each font on your page and subsets the font for only those characters. Dropped speed index ~500ms for an already very optimized @gatsbyjs site. Plugin coming soon. /cc @_munter_
