indeed - human societies are very complex haha. we have managed to predict how social media react to messages at a 80%+ accuracy, but still early days in making the simulation accurate across all contexts and all populations :)

useActionState (which had questionable design to begin with) was botched right before 19 release by nextjs devs. bug reports are all "left on read".

edit: it's also a great source of laughs if you enjoy AI hallucinations. eg. ask it to generate a use action state solution which updates a select element.

I want to be able to understand your point. For those who enjoy programming, writing code is indeed a pleasure. I spent the whole day today writing a JavaScript serialization package, and even though I know someone has already done it, I am still willing to write a new one for my specific scenario. On the other hand, I think that although AI seems friendly to newcomers (inexperienced developers), it is actually more friendly to experienced developers because you can have AI help you complete some tasks and then review them yourself. Inexperienced developers have difficulty accurately pinpointing problems when they encounter issues, causing AI to keep going in circles and hitting walls.

What's my point? That's a phenomenal question. I think my point was to see if anyone else out there shared my existential state. Now, of course I knew someone did, but there's really nothing like a good ol' confirmation from the other.
