Remix/React Router @Shopify 💿
Philadelphia
*record scratch* *freeze frame* Yep, that's me (Remix 3). You're probably wondering how I got here.

This is how I like to visualize/explain the evolution of Remix and React Router. I was nerd sniped by a diagram @bradwestfall.bsky.social posted the other day so I finally put pen to paper

Zoey’s a big time splooter.

I recently heard this referred to as Puppy Pancaking and I think that’s the term I’m using from here on out.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the stability of Comcast Xfinity internet. Every morning this week.

I spent >20 minutes the other day trying to get to a human to troubleshoot and couldn't get past their AI chatbots on the app or my phone either.

🥩 Happened to see some Waygu ribeyes at the butcher when I picked up our Easter brisket. Impulse bought 2 because I’ve only had Waygu once (it was amazing) and I’ve never cooked it at home.

Grilled them up tonight and holy smokes this is going to be bad for my wallet 🤤

Sometimes it gets more granular than that! For example, <Link> is available everywhere - but you can only use the `prefetch` prop in framework mode because we know the route data/module information. Each prop has a smaller version of this along with the prop heading

This is so cool through - every hook/component indicates right at the top which modes it is valid in.

For example - <Form> doesn't work in "declarative" mode because those routes can't have actions to submit to:

React Router v7 docs just got a huge upgrade thanks to @ryanflorence (not on the good place yet). We brought API docs back into the left sidebar are now clearly labelling which APIs/features work in which modes. See reactrouter.com/home for info.

The sun sets right through my new office window and blinds me between 4-5 everyday (at least this time of year). Always feels like a good sign to start wrapping up for the day.

We’re hosting family Xmas at the new house this year and I’m doing prime rib on the smoker, finished with a sear on charcoal.

Did a dry run today with a smaller roast and feeling pretty good!

Nap trapped with my 1-month old sleeping on my chest on a rainy Thanksgiving morning - not too shabby :)

Didn’t find these folks on here to quote but reposting for Philly-adjacent (or any other mid-Atlantic) folks!

Kudos to @breakfast.bsky.social for the idea
