Lmaoooooo. What if people started pressing start to fix their game fps because that?

Great ragebait! for a second I almost thought this was real

This is so fucked up. They know the thing they built is shit, and they refuse to go back on it, so the hack shit to make it seem like it's less shit.

Ah gotcha. So it's not strictly correct to call the whole start menu a react application, just a part of it that always loads when you press the start button.

I'm all for being correct, but MS absolutely deserves being clowned on for this.

That's actually worse. You do get how that's actually worse, right?

I try not to let such considerations get in the way of posting excellent ragebait.

We had a Svelte application. We chose svelte because it's simpler than React is, and it's much faster. However further down the line a consultant said to the CTO that we should move to React. I said React is more complicated and has more edge cases, and its slower, but the consultant said more people know react and it has a bigger community, so we switched to React. This was fairly early in the project. React has sooo many edge cases. It's not made with async in mind, if you forget to add a [] to a useEffect it just breaks your application completely instead of doing the more sensible thing, it says "don't use useEffect" but there's so many "except when" that you end up using it everywhere regardless. Later on the CTO got all in on Claude Code, so we spent the easter holidays rewriting the app in Svelte. Except a few bugs it was feature complete by that week and in production a few days later.

It's much, MUCH faster now, and the code is much simpler. We lost absolutely nothing by moving back to Svelte but gained a lot.

Edit: not that using either of these is sane thing to do in the start menu. The start menu should not be a web application.

What's a B2B application? Backend To Backend?

Ironically Apple would never allow a first party app to be anything other than Swift. No React allowed.

I lol'd 😂

The twitter thread is a fabrication.

The react native shit? all true. True enough that MS made an announcement talking about how they had removed it even. https://www.windowslatest.com/2026/03/21/microsoft-confirms-windows-11-start-menu-performance-boost-shift-to-winui-from-web-based-components/

As far as I can tell, react native is a way to make easy cross-compatible gui components in javascript. One of the more stupid things ms has done lately.

Clearly a guy pretending to be the developer 🤣

Is that 8 bits of marde?

That doesn’t sound like a lot of marde, but probably more marde than I would like to receive on any given day.

Caliss de menu de chien

It saddens me that it isn't. That would be a lot funnier. Well, as long as you aren't forced to use it in your life. I use Arch btw
