I think the takeaway here is that no matter how smart you are, it’s not realistic to expect to effect meaningful change to complex systems in a short amount of time then leave. Same reason why consultants are not effective. No skin in the game/appreciation of how it came to be.

React Compiler is a new build-time tool that automatically optimizes your react app. It works with plain JS and understands the rules of react, so you don't need to rewrite any code to use it. we've been testing it out at Meta, and it's already powering a few production surfaces.

SSR of client JS apps is an illusion. You render your JS on the server into HTML. You serve that HTML to your client so it appears to have fast startup. But you still have to wait for your JS to reach the user before anything can be interactive (hydration).

...server tree with the client tree without losing client state. When used together, you could first render into the intermediate format, and then have your SSR infra render that into HTML so startup can still be fast. But this time your JS bundle is going to be MUCH smaller.
