i've built two shopify apps in my career one in 2022 before the llm blitz and one today in 2022 it took weeks, and today it took an hour some of that is because of the llm, but a lot of it is shopify's dx getting way better

It does feel like RSC at least as some sort of side effect that makes SEO/SSR easier though. Maybe a follow up article on that nuance?

It’s just an ignorant take. Try solving specific use cases with just SPA and you’ll quickly see why RSCs are so valuable. It’s one of those takes where you instantly know someone’s experience
