If you think that @remix_run is coming for you Next.js users... I mean, we'd love to have you as users of Remix and all, but you're not really our target... Screenshot of https://www.npmtrends.com/react-router-vs-next
@remix_run Some people (a minority) are reading *way* too much into this. This isn't a jab at next. This is showing that Remix is an evolution of React Router. It was never about competing with Next, it was always about serving our React Router users better.
@remix_run The reason for the download chart is to show what our ambitions are. We have way bigger plans than just to compete with another framework.
In retrospect, the chart could have been left off. This is the perspective I have and I was sharing it. Even though twitter would have you believe that everyone's using Next.js, they're not. So there's 100% room for both of us. We don't plan/have to "take" Next's users to grow.
Literally the *only* reason we made the Next vs Remix post is explained at the top of the post remix.run/blog/remix-vs-… (followed by us gushing over how great we think the team over at Vercel is).

We didn't want to talk about Next.js, but everyone asked about it. Easily the biggest question we get asked is something like:
I shared the chart and comparison in the original tweet because I'm subtweeting people's assumptions that we're coming after Next.js users. We're not targeting Next users. They're welcome to join us, but we're targeting React Router users. 🤷‍♂️

Tonight I got t-boned by a guy running a stop sign in a residential area going 80-100 mph. The seatbelt broke my collar bone and the airbags broke my front teeth. The dashboard trapped my feet and knees in the car for 20 minutes while they ripped the top of the car off to get me. Kent in a hospital bed with...
I have surgery in the morning to repair my collar bone. I'm in pain, but not as much as I would expect.

The guy who hit me flipped over and fled the scene. I was told he later came back and was arrested. I guess that means he was physically ok.
There's a very good possibility that had I not been driving a @Tesla with the heavy battery pack in the floor of the car and their safety features, I would have flipped and possibly died. (I'm now even more of a Tesla fanboy #SorryNotSorry).

Quick interesting story time.

So I use @cloudinary to handle image optimization and transformations on kentcdodds.com (more details: kentcdodds.com/blog/building-…). However, their pricing for bandwidth is outrageously high and with the amount of traffic I get it's...
... just way more than I'm willing to pay.

So I decided that since @Cloudflare is dirt cheap for bandwidth I could put that in front of @cloudinary and save big time. One problem here is that @cloudinary's HTTP cache-control header marks its images as "private" and ...
... doesn't provide an s-maxage value (which makes sense because @cloudinary doesn't really want you to do this). Unless I missed something, this means @Cloudflare won't be able to cache these images with those headers. So ...

Pushing this change now. You now have to click the login link with the same device that requested the link or it won't work.

If you want to login with your mobile device but have trouble accessing the link, then you can login on desktop and scan the QR code on your profile :)
In case you're interested: github.com/kentcdodds/ken…

Like I said. I originally had this in place, but gave in when people complained about being able to use the login link on a different device. That was the wrong choice.
Now even if someone gets your login link, they won't be able to login for you because the link won't work!

Don't believe the FUD. @Tesla cars/solar/batteries are the best in the business and only getting better. And they're doing more to reduce climate change than anyone else.

tesla.com/impact-report/…
Here, let me save you a click...

FUD says: "EVs aren't *that* much better for the environment than ICE cars when factoring in production of the car and source of the electricity."

This couldn't be more false. Significantly Less Lifecycle Emissions than ICE Vehicles   T
FUD says: "Teslas aren't any better than other EVs"

@Tesla's been doing this for way longer and they don't have their own ICE cars to compete with. Is it any wonder theirs are the best? The Most Efficient EVs Ever  Tesla cars can convert electric

What's amazing to me is that FSD wasn't even close to being able to do this just a few months ago. This is an illustration of the leaps and bounds improvement the FSD rewrite is over what's in my car right now. Imagine where this will be in the next few months. #exponential
Every car drives itself any time the driver isn't paying attention. It's totally bonkers to me that we drive around trusting ourselves and other drivers to stay focused on the road.

In 2020, there was a driving related fatality every ~26 seconds. We *need* autonomous driving. A man in the driver's seat ...
I'm still convinced that my kids (8 and younger) will never need to learn to drive a car. FSD will be *really* good by the end of this year and level-5 autonomy will get regulatory approval in the US in the next 2 years. Maybe sooner.

Hold me to this.

I'm getting a LOT of github issues on my projects/workshops involving npm v7... I'm still on v6. Did v7 just mess up a bunch of stuff or something?
Just realized that v7 has been out for FIVE months. For some reason I thought it was pretty recent 🙃

I guess I should upgrade and see if I can figure out what's going on with it...
Looks like the best way forward is to make sure the package-lock.json version is "1" (generated by npm@6) and the install script should use `--legacy-peer-deps --no-save`

I was already using --legacy-peer-deps, but added --no-save a minute ago: gist.github.com/kentcdodds/bb4…
