I'm a full-time React developer & this gave me a good laugh. React's most useful feature is that it can pay the bills.

[basione]

Honestly, React changed my life when it burst onto the scene.

I became a back-end dev 😁

I love how you can never tell if this man is sincere or not, and yet he still presents everything you need to learn.
That's some serious writing skill right there

"UseEffect if a great way of introducing infinite loops"

Yes it is...I was supposed to make a page as an assignment, that could display the weather in a selected city. This info had to be fetched from weatherstack, where you can have x-amount of api-calls with the free user. Well I introduced an endless loop with a UseState, and accidentally used all of my couple of hundred calls in under a second. Thanks lmao.

you should really do another series of "For the Haters in 100 seconds". this was awesome.... satirical, but very informative...

as a professional react dev, i never knew react syntax is annoying until i played a little bit with svelte and vue

[Majaboujallow]

"Life is about suffering. It's not supposed to be fun like Svelte, or fast like Solid or reliable like Angular or all of the above like Vue." 😅 😂

[alexanderst.]

"For the haters" is actually a really good way to generate, so to speak, programming humor.
Not that i hate react but this is still hilarious

[madhavmanocha]

"this has been me destroying my reputation in the react community". Man, you are the reason why many of us joined these communities in first place.

I was pretty impressed with React the first time I used it. You can write new UI pieces in only 10x as much code as you would need without react.

[anishadhikari]

Me, been involved in both React and (then) Vue, I find vue much easier, comfortable and with much less side effects, was always confused why people praise React (between Vue and React). Today, you finally made my confusion go away. Amazing video.

[mo_mo]

This is actually a good series to learn the disadvantages of those techs.

[heldim]

Dude, dude! PLEASE do more of these "stuff for haters" videos! Make a playlist!
That way, you make us happier and you get to diss everything without commiting!
Cleary win-win situation! PLEASE CONSIDER!

[minecrafter]

We need more of these "for the haters" vids. I think they are a lot enjoyable even for devs of that language or framework. I could fill hours with the stuff Google pulls for us Android devs, deprecating things before the new solution leaves alpha, introducing some new permission that requires new callbacks everywhere you do something permission sensitive, forcing app devs to explain to users that they need location permission to access their device's networking (instead of the OS doing that explanation or separating this from the location permission) and so on.

I love how Jeff ended the roasting with a respect note.

I’m a React developer and this is all hilariously true

[onemangamer]

I've just started learning React, and it's total hell 😭
The first time I saw the map function being used to make a list that will then be styled in CSS, but in a sort of HTML, JavaScript and CSS orgy.
That being said, I've only just started, but my first 3 days have been total and utter hell

[developmentpersecond]

@Fireship, what is the dip in downloads at the start of every year from ?

[dustindustir]

As a svelte developer, I sometimes watch react tutorials, just to feel superior

[SHEEPeros]

“For haters” needs to be a new series. Lovin’ the format. I’m a React dev by job description but I don’t think that’s a good thing - in the same way being a Vue, Angular and Swelt dev is not ideal too. All of these are just frameworks/libs so they’re just someone’s idea on how to build stuff. Core concepts are more important and timeless - also more prevelant on the backend.
