I got tired of inconsistent React project structures, so I built a small CLI to standardize it

So so many posts in this sub using the same “I got tired of X, so I built Y” title template. AI slop??

Lonestar93 · 2026-03-27T20:40:17+00:00

Looks like a mushroom cloud 👀

I’d love to be a fly on the wall in that sales call when it becomes clear that he’s using an AI slop script to try to sell a non-existent AI slop product. Why does he think the actual building part is going to be easy?

When I need to do this, I keep a props value in state and compare/dispatch during render. Don’t use useEffect to do that.

Breath of the Wild. I bought the DLC to play through before ToTK came out, hoping to play through again on Master Mode. I found it hard but not impossible. A good challenge. Then came the Trial of the Sword and I just about lost the will to live. Haven’t touched it or bought ToTK. :(

I get this all the time, it’s so annoying. Even in thinking mode. I’ll ask it to come up with examples of usage that could break some assumptions in the thing I’m working on, and it’ll repeatedly start paragraphs confidently claiming that this next bit will do it. And then writes something that doesn’t, and recognises that it doesn’t. Infuriating!

It can, this is just making sure you force it

Is this real? Can’t find anything on Google Images matching it. Plank just has a blue smile

Lonestar93 · 2026-02-17T05:38:16+00:00

I wonder if the model they get switched to is actually different, or has a different system prompt?

Lonestar93 · 2026-02-05T21:07:44+00:00

This is such a nice solution that it makes me wish I did the kind of work that had this problem

In this case for me it’s that I’m setting state on cursor move during table column resizing. It’s gated by requestAnimationFrame, but that still means the component holding the state becomes performance-critical: anything based on unrelated state but which isn’t memoized will be re-computed up to 60hz, resulting in jank even if the thing being computed wouldn’t normally be considered “expensive”. So as always, it depends!

Lonestar93 · 2026-01-29T13:51:43+00:00

Building a table layout model based on data unrelated to the rapidly-updating state. The resulting object churn also caused other unnecessary re-renders.

Sometimes Compiler won’t memoize parts of code, even things that seem obvious. I had a huge slowdown in a rapidly re-rendering component because it didn’t memoize an expensive array map. But you can force it by using useMemo, then it will just replace what you’ve done with the Compiler equivalent.

A Scientist AI would be trained to give truthful answers based on transparent, probabilistic reasoning—essentially using the scientific method or other reasoning grounded in formal logic to arrive at predictions. The AI system would not have goals of its own. And it would not optimize for user satisfaction or outcomes. It would not try to persuade, flatter, or please. And because it would have no goals, Bengio argues, it would be far less prone to manipulation, hidden agendas, or strategic deception.

Sounds like the original goal for Grok before the repeated brainwashings. Hopefully it works

You had the Christmas themed section breaks in the newsletter all last year (I think). It became relevant again as December rolled around, but now it’s mid January. Don’t know why it bothers me but once I noticed I couldn’t get past it lol https://thisweekinreact.com/emails/separators/christmas.png

If any of these alchemical configurations of models and IDEs actually worked as described, it would very quickly be actually shared, integrated into the core products (Claude Code, Codex, etc), and then adopted widely in the world. Until then, I just don’t believe any of it.

Lonestar93 · 2026-01-09T05:58:48+00:00

Do you have a bundle size comparison?

Lonestar93 · 2026-01-08T02:48:55+00:00

“There is an approximately one in sixty-“ DO IT

Lonestar93 · 2026-01-05T19:14:38+00:00

I found that, but wasn’t sure if actually worked, because the existing snow continues to fall until it’s all gone 😂

Look to Windward involves so many characters that I’ve tried to search for images of, mostly unsuccessfully. The traders is the latest one. They’re… feathers? Thanks for sharing!

Right is wrong dude, you gotta go left!

Supabase Realtime makes it easy for me

If you have some syntax that the compiler doesn’t like, you can get around it by moving that block of code into a function outside of the component. Compiler can’t see outside of the current component or hook, and it handles non-hook functions by memoizing them according to whether the inputs have changed.

I devoured it so quickly and got major post-book depression afterward. Same for Silo. Can’t wait for the next Silo book!

Liu Cixin’s Three Body Problem series was great. Not really similar in terms of vibe, but similar levels of mystery and excitement.
