This interview came about while we were shooting for our upcoming full-length React documentary, which is releasing on the 10th of February so GET HYPED! 🔥🔥

Love me some history of software engineering videos ❤

[akshattamrakar]

Solid and Qwik documentary would be really awesome in this perticular period of time.

[nomoredarts]

Did you know that Flux was inspired by The Elm Architecture from Elm programming language?

[jerbear]

me who just started learning Redux: _ah shit_

[fakrdinrazzi]

Nice, Nice, Nice! About the reducers though, I know many clojurists that might not like his comments.

Redux --- or over engineered state management

[FunctionGermany]

a lot of request state management can be taken care of by react-query (now tanstack query)

[emenikedaniel]

🤣🤣🤣 I had to learn the traditional redux first, then move on to learning redux toolkit. Had severe headaches😂. He sounded not too optimistic about redux. Is there a replacement for it already

[techinsider]

When the documentary will be released?

[Fresteeyles]

What’s wrong with storing fetched data in redux?

[maykefernandesdossantos]

i would love to know what he meant by: "better solutions"

[benevbright]

Yeah, I got it. I heard "Don't use it anymore". 😉

[MrJfergs]

So this is the guy responsible for making front end so confusing. Well I guess he works at Meta so it makes sense.

i always hated Redux while i'm using in 2 projects. it feels just not the good way to do state management, boilerplates and concept that you need to explain to your team but you have no explanation why it should be like this. over engineering state management.
