Is it possible to use event triggers on @vercel postgres and listening to them in an API route?

Oh @dhh, you make me chuckle. The vast majority of "TS devs" don't live anywhere near here, so maybe loosen the grip on your anti-TS baseball bat? 😆
Your quoted tweet screams library author/code. If anything, this is a simple testament that writing libraries and abstractions is definitely a 1% path. Even a vast majority of "just JS" devs can't be trusted to write decent library-level abstractions, let alone type-safe ones.
Nothing is ever this binary, you know that. Just for kicks, let's write some "just JS"!
Look ma! No TS! ... Well, spoiler alert, this is 100% type-safe code, backed by the kind of code you just slighted (and not even that much of it).
Because of the 1% that invest the time into understanding static typing, generics, type-safe architecture that make writing TS virtually the same as never writing it.

If you have a server in @typescript - please use @trpcio over raw React Query. Thanks.

So many of my main gripes over the last year are just... fixed in TS 5.5. Super exciting release. 🍿

But also Inferred Type Predicates
I.e. no more of this `.flatMap()`-crap below, you can just `.filter()`!
TypeScript tip 💡
Use `.flatMap()` to filter items in a type-safe manner.

I'm glad "JS enabled" behavior is getting aligned with the "JS disabled" behavior - it's good for progressive enhancement.
But I still think the primitives aren't there to easily make great forms without unnecessary complexity in how you define the backend of server actions 🤷
👀 React 19 + Form resets
Uncontrolled forms will reset on action end
(no impact on controlled form inputs)

New public API to trigger behavior manually in transitions: ReactDOM.requestFormReset

I mean it's xhtml which we all wrote once upon a time in order to get the w3c validator the give us green ✅✅
I can't remember when or why it started & stopped being "xhtml is the way" (maybe html5? I can't say I remember exactly what that meant either) 😅👴

Can anyone show me a use case of the `currentState`-argument in a server action when using `useFormState()`?
I struggle to see why it exists.

- 🫣 AFAICT, you can't trust the value here and it needs to be validated alongside `formData`
- 🌀 It needs to be the same type as the return type of the action, which makes inference circular
- 🚩 the React docs need a troubleshooting section to explain it's there (react.dev/reference/react-do…), it should be a red flag that the API could be tweaked
- 🧩 The arguments change depending on how you call it. This sorta goes against the "React way of thinking" that things are an independent "lego piece" that you can drop anywhere
- 🍟 The state in `useFormState(action, initialState)` gets serialized and passed between server<->client which to me just adds unnecessary payload
- ℹ️ If you need to pass additional context with form data, you can add a `<input type="hidden" />`, I don't see why React needs to provide this

I made a POC of an API I think is more sound:
nobody:
me: I hacked together a POC of an alternative API to `useFormState()` / `useActionState()` that I think is nicer than what's in @reactjs / @nextjs today
