Been processing an unreasonable amount of information on everything AI-related lately, here's the result ☺️
Ever wondered why your clever chat and code assistants are so dumb sometimes?
I'm on a mission to answer that with research and data!

I'm running 30% off both my books for those who still read real books! 💸
Interested in learning the fundamentals of React and Web performance? Don't miss out!
Real humans writing real books is a rarity these days 😅

Can AI replace an experienced developer at debugging?
To find out, I built an app with three real bugs, threw them at LLM, and then investigated the root cause myself 😅

The article includes:
- What Server Actions actually are under the hood.
- Common arguments for and against using them for fetching.
- A performance experiment on a semi-real use case.
- A definitive answer (not "it depends", I promise).
Up for some reading after a well-spent winter break?
New article coming in! #react Server Actions for client-side data fetching - yay or nay? Have you tried that? If you haven't, I tried it for you and wrote down the result 💪🏼

React Server Components: do they improve performance or make it worse?
If your answer is “I’ve no idea 😅,” I wrote a deep-dive to answer that! Experiments and real numbers, CSR vs SSR vs RSC, same app + test setup.
Focus: initial load + data fetching.

Another much-requested article for you! If you're confused on which state management solution you should use (Redux, Zustand, Context, etc.,) I've got you covered 😉
If you have a different opinion on the topic, please share! Would love to compare notes ☺️

performance.now() is coming!
@adevnadia.bsky.social will provide a deep dive into the new React Server Components. How does the app render in the browser? What are their performance implications? How do they compare to traditional SSR and CSR techniques?

I tried really hard to deliver pretty advanced content in such a way that it's simple and easy to understand, while trying to avoid talking down to the readers as if they were children. Looks like it worked 😊
To quote a reviewer: "Like a talk with a colleague in simple words and on topic".
Kicked off the "Testimonials" section for the "Web Performance Fundamentals" book (www.getwebperf.com) with very lovely feedback from the early readers.
"Detailed", "on topic", and "simple" are the general themes of the feedback so far :)
Aww, thank you! This effect was the goal, glad it worked! ☺️
Do you mind if I add your feedback to the website, to kick off the "Testimonials" section?
While you're reading, I'm off to write a sequel: what's the difference between Context, Redux, Zustand, and how to choose the best state management these days.
In the meantime, the **WEBPERF30** discount on both of my books still works and will be till the end of the month!
New long-awaited article coming your way! 📝
Have you ever wondered why we need Context/Redux/Zustand in React, and why we don't use Local Storage instead of them? The article has an answer!

If you go with Amazon, please, please, please leave a review afterwards!
Amazon takes more than 70% of what you pay, so the only reason for authors to publish there is for discoverability.
And every review is a huge boost for that!
Finally! The "Web Performance Fundamentals", my second book, is available on Amazon for all the old-school fans of paper books. 🎉
Grab it here: www.amazon.com/dp/B0FH7L837V
The ebook is here: www.getwebperf.com
Both of them will be invaluable if you want to quickly jump from mid to senior in terms of tech knowledge.
Or completely nail a React tech interview, btw 😉
