Seven things you can’t do in React…

Monday, June 21st, 2021 at 5:18 pm

I got a cold email asking me to write a blog post about “Seven things you can’t do in React” for exposure on a “leading technology blog”. I sent them my proposal, wish me luck…

1. Boil the perfect egg
2. Connect to your inner child
3. Reach that itchy part on your back
4. Compose a sonnet to woo the ladies
5. Make your dad proud for once
6. Worship Imhotep and bask in his glory
7. Appreciate the Song Thrush’s mating cry
