You gotta love the self-congratulating tone of "ads org, where we were building incredibly sophisticated client side web apps". Have you tried using ad tools from Facebook? It wins the buggiest UI prize without leaving much chance to the competition – it was impossible TO PAY FOR ADS for some weeks in several browsers, with javascript errors in the console. It really tells you about how removed from reality the self-praise of "easy to reason about" crowd goes. And how React ruined the performance of the web for 10 years from 2015.

Been using React for many years, yet I have never came across this one. Pretty interesting, thanks!

Facebook's "React" library was discussed here (with 100+ comments) when it launched in 2013[0]. I remember because I wrote an example to compare React with Angular, and my post was also #1 on the same day[1] :)
