๐Ÿ”ต Directives and the Platform Boundary

First there was the "use strict" directive to opt in to strict mode in JavaScript, but now youโ€™ll encounter use client, use server, React's new use no memo, and more, and they're not standard JS features at all. Tanner thinks this proliferation of directives comes at a cost, with an increased risk of framework and tooling lock-in.
