    Can’t emphasize this enough. We’ve transitioned half of the ~140K codebase to Flow and found dozens of errors. At this point, I consider PropTypes an anti-pattern (especially for new projects).

    Replying to @ryanflorence
    We’re doing a lot more of these “components that eventually render into component X” assertions using Flow. I believe TypeScript can do similar things. propTypes doesn’t work well to assert on function signatures. It’s time to just give up and accept static types as the solution.

    Me ten years ago, on seeing a poorly designed interface “Wow, what idiot designed this?” Me, today: “What constraints were the team coping with that made this design seem like the best possible solution?” Empathy trumps fundamental attribution errors.

    Interesting new direction: Babel, implemented in Rust. I wonder how fast this code would be if it were compiled to WebAssembly.

    Webpack 5 removes polyfills for Node's Buffer, console and process modules, and I couldn't be happier 😍 Excited to see less of these accidentally inlined into bundles in 2019!

    TL;DR: Persistent Caching Long Term Caching improved no more node.js core module polyfilling internal changes, cleanups remove deprecated things
