That’s why I’m rooting for Ladybird.

Skipping React hydration… so, only rendering on the server? BBC just re-invented server-side rendering, bravo 👏😆
I say this as an 8-year React developer. Damn, our industry really drank the kool-aid on on this one. Of course, plenty of people have been saying that React for static content like this has always been a misapplication of the tool, I’ve been reading opinions like that the entire time I’ve been working with it.
I’m glad BBC is doing this, though. Legitimate kudos to them for recognizing the issue and working towards fixing it. I actually think there are some great benefits that React has given us:
I would be happy if React was supplanted in the near future, but I also have some fondness for it. I know I’m way off topic on this post, just felt like talking about React.
Tracking scripts degrade gracefully, so you can disable JS, and the page should still work just fine.
I used to feel this way. Over the course of building out 2 calendar systems in my career (so far) and having to learn the intricacies of date and time-related data types and how they interact with time zones, I don’t have much disdain for time zones. I’d suggest for anyone who feels the same way as this meme read So You Want To Abolish Time Zones.
Also, programmers tend to get frustrated with time zones when they run into bugs around time zone conversion. This is almost always due to the code being written in a way that disregards the existence of times zones until it’s needed and then tacks on the time zone handling as an afterthought.
If any code that deals with time takes the full complexities of time zones into account from the get-go (which isn’t that hard to do), then it’s pretty straightforward to manage.
