in the absence of the real story, people will try to piece the story together from incomplete information
a story always gets told. rumors are usually worse than the truth. be vulnerable: own it so you have a chance to recover

Researchers have found two new vulnerabilities in React Server Components while attempting to exploit the patches last week.
These are new issues, separate from the critical CVE last week. The patch for React2Shell remains effective for the Remote Code Execution exploit.

pre Turbopack, we had "webpack_internals" in browser dev tools, does anyone know how I can see what files gets shipped to the browser now?
it was easier to see "mark something use client and it gets included in the bundle" but don't see that anymore
