> 2) The GitHub Next team built their work in React because they required the ergonomics to move fast and they were operating independently from the production app teams. I think the first thing of theirs to be integrated was Projects, and they could probably show that their components had much better DX. Starting from the ergonomics argument, the hiring argument would take hold.

There's also an impression from outside that the GitHub Next team also got a large amount of pressure to dogfood LLM usage, especially in new feature building.

There seems to be a visible ouroboros/snowball effect that LLMs are causing that they were trained so much on React code that's what they know best and because that's what they know best the goal should be to move things to React and React Native to take the most advantage of LLM "speed and productivity boosts".

I'm currently a pawn that feels about to be sacrificed in a cold war happening in my own day job over how much we should move towards React to make executives and shareholders happier at our "AI all the things" strategy. Sigh.
