๐ View our courses: https://scrimba.com/links/all-courses
Meet Dev Agrawal ๐ฎ๐ณ๐บ๐ธ! With a name like that, how could he not become a developer? He's a software developer, developer advocate, and content creator. Moreover, he's a React expert deeply ingrained in the React community. That's why we invited him onto the show to shed light on the current state of affairs!
You've probably noticed certain discontent surrounding React recently. A basic React app has become significantly more complex. It has been quite some time since there has been a significant update to React, with the recent ones relying heavily on meta-frameworks. And what about the React core team? What's happening there?
All of this might sound disheartening. However, we're delving into whether these concerns hold true in this episode. Let's find out together!
