Hey friends I had an interesting thought this morning. So a lot of peoplewhen they start using a new technology like when next was released or whenyou know a new version of Reactor or or any React library or whatever theyoften will say, okay, how do you I use this with an existing technologythat I already enjoy like, so how do I use next with glamorous?That was an early thing. I remember or how do I use? Next with Jest or youknow, whatever whatever it is. I would encourage you to when you're usinganNew technology to avoid bringing in your previous and older or like thethe previous technologies that you were using in conjunction with this newthing too early.So what I mean by that is often we get really that we're using an existingthing and say we're using create react app. And we really like emotion forour styling. And so then we decide okay, I'm gonna switch over to a remixfrom Create. React app and I'm gonna say okay now I really like emotion formy styling so I'm gonna come in to.That and try and figure out how to use emotion with Remix And I woulddiscourage you from doing something like that right from the get-go. Andthe reason is that part of why we love our tools so much is because theysolve problems and and that's that's great and they solve them in a waythat we really enjoy.But if you bring all of your old tools to the new technology or to the newframework or to the new other thing, you might find that things don't worktogether quite right and that could give you a bad sense of what ispossible or whatever like a it might.Put a bad taste in your mouth for that new technology When in actuality itturns out that you don't need or let me rephrase that you don't have thesame problems that made you fall in love with this original tool. So remixis a great example of this because it just eliminates so many problems andso if you try to bring in solutions to problems that don't exist then yeah,you're probably going to have a hard time.You're going to be like, well, what is what is remakes all about? I'm notactually this wasn't triggered by anything specific. I haven't seen anybodysay wow. I don't like remakes because it's hard to use this tool. It wasjust a thought that I had this morning.And yeah probably would be a bit ofa pain to to use some tools with remix but just make sure that those toolsare still awesome when you have a framework that may eliminate that problemaltogether.So when you're learning something new, this is why I do my super simplestart blog posts just to give you an idea of what this thing has to offerall by itself and in particular with remix actually just regular CSS files,you'll be blown away how good it works with just that.Anyway, I hope that's interesting and applies to more than just Remix havea wonderful week.And a wonderful day. Whatever you listen to this have awonderful one.
