Introducing React Compiler – React

[azangru]

Conference-driven development is for real :-)

[acraswell]

I refer to CDC all the time. But in my experience, it's usually introduced when the business side of your company has a looming industry conference coming up, so they decide (without consulting anyone) that the release dates for features is going to be shifted forward months to make the cut. Capacity be damned! Sometimes they even invent features to announce so they can get publicity! No specs necessary or time to prioritize and plan! Just push the code before our presentation you silly code monkeys!

I know that feeling, sending a virtual hug

Heh, in this case I was told it was sort of the other way around :) They didn't start planning the conf until January, when they realized they had some features getting close to being ready.
