What people are saying
Since I saw almost no positive comments I'll throw my hat in the ring. I love stuff like this. I learned a handful of things to toss in my back pocket for future…

What Hacker News says
3 sourcesI'm planning on replacing the TodoMVC example and use a more real-world example.
However, Kent is only using XState in one non-trivial interactive part of the site – the call recorder: https://github.com/kentcdodds/kentcdodds.com/blob/main/app/c...
Seems to me like a proper use of a state machine (I might be biased, though).
In How I built a modern website in 2021Since I saw almost no positive comments I'll throw my hat in the ring. I love stuff like this. I learned a handful of things to toss in my back pocket for future projects/hacking. Remix looks fascinating, albeit young and closed-source. I've been wanting to play with Prisma & MSW for a while, so it was great to see how he used them. His DX looks top-notch, I love hacks like his "server side HMR" [1]
Is it over-engineered? Maybe. Who cares. HN is so worried about juniors taking his architecture as gospel. Does the liquor store clerk have to tell me not to drink too much too fast? Juniors are going to over-engineer something regardless, it's one of the most valuable lessons they'll learn the hard way. The rest of us can read this piece, think critically, and maybe learn some new things.
