It'd be fascinating to get in to some organizations and be a part of post mortems to figure out where things went wrong: before the first line of code was written? Or after the teams decided to build their apps around React?

We're still pretty happy with our decision to use React. Could we use less JavaScript? Sure. Does the app meet our business and user's needs? I think so. Is our PWA fast? Faster than what it replaced. So I'm still unconvinced that React is entirely to blame here.

What automation do you have in place to prevent regressions and measure median and 95th% user experience? Or is "faster" annecdotal and historical?

Still working on automation that will fail builds if there are performance regressions. But "faster" in this case is based off of data collected and analyzed with
@newrelic. To be fair: we had a low bar to measure improvement against.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

So "no" and "low bar". Better than most, but can we agree that teams that pick up these sharp implements must do so with care and support that's largely missing?

Performance was one of the MAJOR selling points I used to get us on React. I re-wrote one of our heaviest Knockout modules in React. Render time and memory usage both improved massively. 1/3 memory, and 1/4 time to render, iirc.

Adam, you target desktop in relatively controlled environments. That's not today's big challenge.

Absolutely not true. We have desktop oriented modules (billing, claims management, etc). And we have modules designed explicitly for mobile / tablets (those are more domain specific and harder to describe). In either case, React *improved* perf by every measure.

This begs more questions than it answers.

*raises* ;) Seriously tho, I'd love to discuss if ur really curious. It's a commercial web application that's ~10 years old. Framework progressions went from prototype.js -> jQuery -> Knockout -> React Each step (esp the last 2) were significant improvements all around

Let's discuss soon. I'm mostly curious about user demographics.
