me: "I'm working on a Formik update to newest React features wtih Claude" you: "WHY AREN'T YOU ON THE CONTRIBUTOR LIST!>!?!?!" The irony in sharing that screen while it obviously shows it hasn't been maintained. lol. lol go ahead, look at that commit. What did it do? And what about the one prior to that? Explain to me in your own words (no AI) how Formik has kept up to date with new React features? > Are you Copilot, github-actions[bot], or jaredpalmer himself? (ref: https://github.com/jaredpalmer/formik/graphs/contributors?fr...) But since you're on the repo, go take a look at the issues and discussions log. Go search for "Is htis repo dead"? Go read any number of the 10,000 comments about forms in React on any social media site of your choosing. If Jared works at Vercel and Formik, according to you, is still in "active development", why

would they use RHF? You're not a serious person if you think you can Google a few things and automatically understand the form ecosystem in React.

> Where the article talks about value, you're talking about time [savings] - but you both actually mean the same thing: Getting a fair amount of value for the time spent. This is straight from the article: "People who love using AI to create software are loving it because they don’t value the act of creating & understanding the software." How is my response that this is missing the point wrong? I have no personal feelings about AI. I don't "love" it. And I also value the act of creating and understanding software, but I don't have the time to do all of that. So, I'm failing to see what point you're making. > programming isn't solely about "SemVer numbers going up", Did you read my post at all? What on earth does this have to do with Formik using legacy API's and not being as performant as the other options? > it's about designing powerfu

l abstractions for (re-)occurring problems. Being on the consuming side of a UI form library is something different from designing its API. Again, did you read my post at all? > For one thing, I'm sure stable products have been build with Formik@1.0.0^ (it's at @2.4.9 currently). What? What does this have to do with it being years behind current React features? Do you even use React? Don't tell me you're arguing about a React form library while not actively using React? > For a second thing, I don't think doing the manual labor of playing a smarter dependabot is as valuable as you think it is lol What? ? Formik still has 3 million weekly downloads with its latest release being 2 months old, why don't you upstream your changes? This is what happens when you think just Googling and thinking you know everything. Just a quick question, that last "release", what did it include? Actually, take this a step further, in the last 2 years, what major updates were released? > Formik still has 3 million weekly downloads with its latest release being 2 months old, why don't you upstream your changes Who said I wasn't lol? What is wrong with you? Not only have you completely misinterpreted what I've said (while not having any relevant experience in the area), you're now accusing me of things. What an absolutely ridiculous reply. https://github.com/jaredpalmer/formik/tree/v2.1.6/packages/f... lol "Formik just had a release" you don't know what you're talking about.

I started using the Apollo Universal Starter Kit.[0] They were using both Redux with Apollo GraphQL. This really bothered me because there were two stores. Apollo 2 doesn't use Redux for the cache anymore. I went ahead and first pulled out the Redux dependency using Apollo Link State.[1][2] Then I went ahead and removed the Redux-Form dependency using Formik[3] instead.[4] The project maintainers thought it was a good idea and removed Redux and Redux-Form dependencies from all the packages. If you are looking for a way to not use Redux with Apollo, it has been solved. Although Apollo Link State requires some more code, it does normalize the data which means selectors are not needed which is a nice way to think about the data.
