Facebook Engineers - Thank You For 2017

gabegreenberg commented 6 years ago

To all the Facebook Engineers working on open source,

Like last year, we at Reactiflux just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all your hard work in 2017. It’s been another big year! After much anticipation React 16 was released in September, React Native has moved from v0.41 to v0.51 fixing countless bugs and adding new features, Jest has over 20 releases this year, Yarn 1.0 and Relay Modern were released, new engineers have joined (hey @calebmer, @TheSavior, @axemclion) and some have moved on (we’ll miss you @mkonicek), and that is just a tiny snapshot of 2017.

Talking with some of you, I know that the dealing with the licensing issues this year was incredibly difficult and frustrating yet you all handled the situation in such a mature and humble manner all while continuing to iterate and innovate. Thank you! We are so happy that you can continue focusing on the work at hand, especially now that this chapter is finally closed.

Guillermo Rauch recently tweeted, “As 2017 wraps up I believe more than ever that React is such a good idea that we will spend the rest of the decade continuing to explore its implications and applications.” We echo this sentiment and as 2017 wraps up, we also believe more than ever that you all embody the spirit of open source with such humility, servant leadership, and true focus on community driven progress that it continues to astound us. We thank you that these qualities are at the heart of our community. We thank you for all the time you have taken to join AMA’s and answer our questions on Twitter. For all the time you have taken to respond to issues and merge PR’s. Thank you for going above and beyond, again this year… as always.

We’d like to invite the React community to reply to this thread with your own “thank you” comments to the team at Facebook. Let’s show them how grateful we are! Feel free to include experiences with the team or just how the React ecosystem has helped you as a developer.

Sincerely,

On behalf of the Reactiflux community: @gabegreenberg @markerikson @KyleAMathews @taion @jquense @vcarl @benigeri @Phoenixmatrix @BTMPL @kyleshevlin @slightlytyler @totaldis

Thank you and keep it up ! As an IT student in France, learning something else than PHP was great ! And it allowed me to grow a little bit more as a dev. I even have my own ideas on what to make with it !

I appreciate the investment FB and its engineers have made in React and the ecosystem. Thank you all who have contributed/maintained projects in the ecosystem! I understand from first hand prior experience that open source can be very difficult/stressful/time consuming, and so I have a deep appreciation for those who have maintained the passion for what they do and keep on the effort.

I've used many frameworks & libraries in the past. I really appreciate the thought and design put into react! I love using this tool and find it great for teaching good JavaScript design skills.
