I disagree. Your "Bloop" blog post about React with its game loop analogy totally opened my eyes. That's the first time I really "got it". Moved my org to React for all new development and haven't looked back. So thank you for your "somewhat meaningless" blog post!

Thanks :) Times like that I go well out of my way to try to make the post meaningful. I'm proud of that post because it focuses on new ideas and applying them in realistic ways.

A lot of blog posts tend to be taking a few random facts out of context and making some disingenuous conclusion. I'm not saying the original post here is like that exactly, but I don't think you can really get much from small posts like it.

Going to the GPs blog doesn't seem to list a matching blog post. Got a link for me?
