As the React ecosystem matures, metaframeworks like Next.js, Remix, and Astro are leading the charge in enhancing performance, simplifying development, and expanding capabilities. This talk will explore how these metaframeworks build upon React to deliver more scalable, efficient, and powerful web applications, making them essential tools for modern developers.

⚛️ In this episode, we have Dan Abramov from Meta!

His work doesn't need an introduction, but the journey to get there is incredible. From learning Visual Basic as an introduction to English, to getting those early formative jobs that shaped his approach & reasoning about problems, to starting with React & getting involved with the community - it's what makes him the person he is today ⭐️

⚛ In this episode, we're joined by Andrew Clark from Meta!

We talk about how he started with software, from creating basic web pages in the 4th/5th grade to moving on to iPhone apps in Objective-C as the transformative part of his career towards more in-depth software development 📲

It was awesome picking his brain about the history of React, how it was initially inspired by XHP at Facebook, and how JSX was introduced to appeal to the internal engineers (while it was boo'ed off stage at JSConf!) 😱

He's part of the React Runtime team, which has ideated and implemented the Fiber architecture 6 years ago to releasing React 18's Concurrent Mode more recently. It's been an incredible journey, and digging into how other runtimes have inspired Andrew and React has been amazing to hear 🙌🏽

Lastly, we talk about how Andrew got involved with React & Meta - co-creating Redux, his first React PR with Sebastian, and starting at Meta. We also talk about the future of React, and how the team is now working together across various organizations 🤝🏽

We really enjoyed sitting down with Andrew and hope you enjoyed the conversation!

React development often doesn’t mean JUST React anymore. Frameworks like NextJS are on the rise and they offer a lot of power out of the box.
But how does it really work in the background? We’ll explore how different rendering strategies like SSR, SSG, CSR or ISR work, when to use each one, and how NextJS can optimise rendering, enhance page speed, and simplify server-side functionality in your React apps.
