    Suggestion on Career Advice

    I'm currently learning React.js and building small projects to strengthen my fundamentals. From this stage, what would be the right next steps to grow further in web application development?

  4. How far can nested UI loaders go for UIs with list of components

    How far can nested UI loaders go for UIs with list of components

    the UI at https://nothing.tech/products/phone-3 renders a list of "widgets". I would like each of these widgets to have their own loaders to maximise page speed, furthermore I'd be able to "deeplink" a user straight into a widget. But how do I do that when a route can only have one Outlet? Here's an example with Promise.all. Before: // routes/dashboard.tsx export async function loader() { const user = await fetch('/api/user').then(r => r.json()) const projects = await fetch(`/api/projects?userId=${user.id}`).then(r => r.json()) const notifications = await fetch(`/api/notifications?userId=${user.id}`).then(r => r.json()) return { user, projects, notifications } } After: export async function loader() { const userPromise = fetch('/api/user').then(r => r.json()) const projectsPromise = userPromise.then(user => fetch(`/api/projects?userId=${user.id}`).then(r => r.json()) ) const notificationsPromise = userPromise.then(user => fetch(`/api/notifications?userId=${user.id}`).then(r => r.json()) ) const [user, projects, notifications] = await Promise.all([ userPromise, projectsPromise, notificationsPromise, ]) return { user, projects, notifications } } Kent's notes: I forgot that defer is now unnecessary, simply return an object from your loader and any properties on that object that are promises will be sent along as deferred data automatically.

  5. What should I learn next?

    What should I learn next?

    I know that Epic React 2 and Epic Web are completely different courses. Given that I’m already on the verge of completing Epic React 1, I’m currently confused about how to proceed next. Should I go for Epic React 2 to solidify my React knowledge and learn about React 19? Or should I pivot towards Epic Web, which offers a broader, full-stack curriculum that could help me become a more well-rounded developer? I’d appreciate any guidance on which path might be more beneficial at this point in my learning journey. What should I learn next?

    Does MCP make sense confined to a single app to rethink UX?

    I was wondering if you could also use the tool calling, etc. inside of a single app to rethink the way that user interfaces work? The future of AI interaction: Beyond just text Does MCP make sense confined to a single app to rethink UX?

    Stuck in Stack Switching: How Do You Commit to One?

    In this recording, I talk about a recurring challenge I face when building proprietary solutions—constantly switching between frameworks like Next.js, React Router, and TanStack. I tend to shift tools when I hit roadblocks (like authentication issues), which makes it hard to commit and go deep with one tech stack. I’m reaching out to ask Kent for advice on how to stay focused and build with confidence without always second-guessing my choices. Stuck in Stack Switching: How Do You Commit to One?
