@heydon This video made me laugh, and made me sad. This video will be pointed to when they write about when React started jumping the shark.

@heydon Brilliant as always.

A nice Monday to you as well, whilst I keep going and learn the framework of Satan.

Apparently, I'm afraid, there's no way out of it to get into the web dev industry nowadays.

@heydon@front-end.social I’m a gay atheist but I can barely comprehend the intolerant small mindedness of still being mad at Brendan Eich ten years later for having a different political opinion from you 🤯

@Olliew Donating to causes that seek to restrict marriage access to opposite sex couples is a matter of civil rights, not merely a difference of opinions.

Has Eich since apologized for and changed his opinion from his past homophobic actions?

Thanks!

@heydon good stuff as always :)

Your videos consistently highlight (some of) the frustrations that motivated me to transition from front-end to back-end. Thank you for showing me that I wasn't just taking crazy pills.

@heydon if this video was a french rap battle we would say: ça tire à balles réelles.

@heydon this is -- obviously -- great, and I liked the "music (and everything else) by Joseph Smith" line, but... who actually *is* the music? I quite like the song, and Shazam doesn't know it

@sil It's Heydon Pickering (mostly virtual instruments and the female voice is a sample, but I play the guitar part).

@heydon ok, you have to stop just being good at all stuff, it's humiliating for the rest of us

@sil Thanks for watching the video! It's a lot of work and they get fuck all views, in the grand scheme of things. Not sure if you are a musician but the chords are B major and A minor. Can do lots of cool things with them together.

@heydon I am as far from a musician as it is possible to be while still being human. But I like listening :) The videos are all great!

@heydon Bless you. Please sell a REACT IS A CULT shirt. My wife saw me watching the video when that came on the screen and said “See, you’re not alone!”

@heydon Amazing - the genocide->hooks transition is wonderful.

Just in case no one has called it out yet - a link in your transcript has the text and link the wrong way round, so it doesn't render as a link -

Screenshot showing the link bit is where the text should be and vice-versa
