Jealous of anyone starting out and stumbling upon this video. I haven't learned anything new but that's because I spent hours and hours researching those patterns, testing out different patterns and figuring which seemed like the best, sustainable practice. This is essentially 50+ hours of condensed into 6 minutes. These are all real-world actionable patterns that you can't go wrong with. Great job Matt.

To confirm your earlier speculation, this fit perfectly into my lunch break/procrastination! I really enjoyed your long form content as well, however these shorter, fast, videos definitely are easier to squeeze into my schedule. Just the nature of our attention economy I suppose. Great work Matt!

I had to set video speed to 0.8 to grasp the concept from this video, Great job Matt.

Great duo React and TS. Well done Matt 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[ccccjjjjeeee]

This is excellent - I already knew most of it but not all, so making the video very dense allowed me to go fast on the parts I knew and slow down on the ones I didn't. Hope you keep making more of this series!

This format will take you places <3

'Whats up wizards' is such a good intro line!

[pupfriend]

oh... my... god. Thank you. I've been banging my head against the wall trying to figure out how to stop redeclaring/assigning props in child components.

[zombiefacesupreme]

It's wild! I've re-watched this three times and I've learned something new each time!

This is SO dense and full of great information. Thank you!!

This is probably the best video out there about React with Ts. The pacing of the video might be too fast for some people. Maybe a little pasue between each topic would be perfect.

I wish I had this video when I was learning these frameworks a few months ago. What an incredible overview.

Finally video that explains me TypeScript in React. I've spend so much time to trying understand this, but now i get it. Thank you!
