Does this guy run a web hosting company or something?
The Linux kernel runs operating systems and actual hardware.
React is used to display some check boxes and charts on the screen.
Like it is not even close.
Goes to show how little web devs in general understand software that they make tweets like these.
I'd almost argue this is a ragebait post and shouldn't be on HN, but I don't know if I'm the only one
Needing to explain to someone in that field why the underlying hardware for the K8s node hosting an extremely memory-bandwidth-intensive app does matter, actually, is painful.
It’s about on par with needing to explain B+trees to devs, and realizing they still aren’t making the connection to their queries being slow.
Sadly, many do. Only later do they realize it is orders of magnitude slower than rendering a template and more cpu intensive. Combine that with the fact that node.js prefers to have an IO heavy workload, but instead we get a cpu heavy one.
React is fine, but SSR has a long way to go before it is “good”.
SSR isn't actually rendering anything of course.
