Man RSC is amazing. The interplay you can have between client and server - to reduce resource usage on the server is awesome In my real world example I lazily convert markdown into html based on if it's visible or not; doing this in rsc is a cinch.

We had Peter Pistorous on @shoptalkshow.com to talk about @redwoodjs.com and their pivot to RedwoodSDK. Spoiler: I was pleasantly surprised by the principles: - Zero magic (code gen or transpiler hacks) - Composability over configuration - Uses native Web APIs shoptalkshow.com/669/

What impressed me was prioritizing economic justice at the framework level. That manifests in minimal code sent to the client hosted on a Cloudflare edge worker for free; reducing costs for website owners and customers. No $20/mo hosting lock-in scheme. Wish #webcomponents had an SDK like this...

I think one of the reasons React stuck with me is because it taught me how to think. Not just about components, but about breaking problems down. Same goes for request/response. It's grounding. RedwoodSDK allows you to co-locate entire sections of your web-app. You to think like the web works!

I was lucky. When I started, big tech hadn’t abstracted everything yet. We learned the fundamentals because that’s all there was. Today, you’re surrounded by tools that hide the basics behind glossy UIs and certifications. Before you spend years learning one company’s abstraction, ask yourself:

React isn't just a UI library. The first time it clicked, it rewired how I thought about software. It became a tool for thought. Just like the request and response cycle is more than a protocol, It's a mental model. A way to orient yourself in the chaos of vibe programming.

I can't express how excited I am to share a preview of RedwoodSDK with the world. I have already built several apps with it, and it's the most productive I've felt in years. And, we're only getting started!

I'm really excited about Friday, we'll finally unveil a preview of what we've built in RedwoodSDK. I feel like I've found the craft of software development again. I'm really enjoying the brand, writing the docs, and chatting to the early users.
