Today I helped a team with a 6 year old React app
Today I helped a team with a 6 year old React app. They hadn't updated packages in years!
They were on create-react-app and React 16.
I switched them to Vite and React 18 in a short meeting.
Two key takeaways:
1. React has been remarkably stable over the last 6 years.
2. If you're still on create-react-app, it's time to switch to Vite. It's surprisingly straightforward.
