The "use no memo" directive in React prevents the React Compiler from optimizing a function, allowing developers to bypass optimization temporarily for debugging or when integrating with incompatible libraries. It must be placed at the very beginning of a function body and is intended for short-term use. Best practices include documenting the reason for disabling optimization and ensuring correct syntax.

The article explores the performance differences between Client-Side Rendering (CSR), Server-Side Rendering (SSR), and React Server Components (RSC) through a detailed, data-driven comparison. It analyzes how data fetching and rendering methods impact initial load performance and provides a semi-real multi-page app for readers to replicate the experiments. The author aims to clarify the often misunderstood concept of React Server Components and their performance implications.

The article introduces AI SDK Agents, a collection of customizable React components designed for building AI applications quickly and efficiently. It emphasizes the ease of deployment and integration with various AI providers, allowing developers to ship features in a matter of hours using a headless design approach.

The article introduces xyflow, a repository containing powerful open-source libraries for building node-based UIs using React and Svelte. It provides installation instructions, basic usage examples, and information about the libraries' licensing and commercial usage support. The libraries are designed to be customizable and ready to use out-of-the-box.

The article compares React and Backbone frameworks in 2025, highlighting that while React appears simpler, it introduces significant abstraction complexity that can confuse developers, especially those new to it. In contrast, Backbone's explicit nature makes it easier to understand and debug, raising questions about the need for such complexity in smaller applications. The author suggests a search for a more intuitive and hackable model for web development.
