The tweet is too vague so I don’t really know what they are referring to.
Reddit is slow now because they made what should just be static HTML that is updated occasionally into a web app for whatever reason.
React is much better than any alternative. I tried using native js but you really need all of the things react brings. Now you could go back to server-side, but it isn’t suitable for web applications. There are just too many interactive elements that don’t work with a HTML push to client and reload on every change approach. Server side plus client side is a lot more work and hard to maintain.

Still, I really hate front end development.
