If rolldown-vite wants to be a drop-in replacement from vite v7, and it changes css parser, isn’t it also a rolldown-vite issue?

:( Will try to extract this to a reproducible example, but would be great with a better stack trace showing the faulty css file.

Anyway I’m excited for it because I could introduce new code organization practices in our SPA and the day I manage to convince people of BFF being worth it it’s just flip a switch *poof* server rendered!

Shouldn’t offloading rendering from the main thread potentially come with some performance improvements? Or is the serialization a bottle neck?

Can’t for the life of me understand how a service like statuspage doesn’t have redundant setups with automatic failover in at least 2 datacenters.

I would appreciate at least an inch of nuance around the fact that it's a complicated issue. Hiring "proper mental health resources" isn't a long-term solution towards making your mods inadvertently sick due to a job nobody should have to have – it's just band-aid on an open wound.

You should be celebrating that they are automating one of the probably worst jobs this century - having to watch horrendous content 40 hrs per week for moderation purposes. No system is perfect, but it’s worth it to have fewer people getting PTSD from their day job.

I asked you elsewhere why React couldn’t have state setters calls include startTransition, and you said that was called Concurrent Mode and everybody hated it. Why doesn’t it work for state setters to include it, while you expect it to work for libraries? Don’t really understand the drawbacks.
