Not really interested in this documentary, but commenting here and giving you a full watch in support against idiotic react content(unrelated to the documentary despite the name), and the case with Theo in particular.

Iconic 😂🤣.. An emotional movie for software developers😂. People ask me for my top 10 movies this year. It is React Documentary, topping the charts😂🤣🤣. I just love Software development. It's a different & interesting world.
React allowed me to leave the service industry after a decade and a half and become a developer that works remotely from anywhere in the world. When I saw this documentary I knew I had to watch it to know more about the history of something that so drastically changed my life. Without React I wouldn't be here, so thanks to everyone that made it happen. This journey is not over yet, there's much more to come, and I'm very excited to be a part of it.
I remember I used to work in Technical support department and was very unhappy with what I was doing. Always wanted to go for frontend but scared to death with coding. One day, I decided to start learning front end development from scratch and came across this React Library. The minute I started looking into it, I fell in love with the library. Its been 4 years now , I am senior React developer. Not gonna look back. Thank you so much React for changing my life ....
To everyone involved: Thank you. There are many amazing things to like about this documentary, but one that strikes me most, is how different people and personalities are fundamental for every step of a success story. There's no React without the lone wolf, but neither without the first internal promoter, internal champion, internal articulator, leadership that allows it to bloom, external customer, on and on...
As a (open source) software engineer myself, the experience the React team had is what every developers hopes to achieve. Most open source projects are developed in the hope to ease the development of other applications, to improve them, to build a community around it and to build something together with people who have (developed) a passion for it. This project and team efforts shows that thinking outside of the box is the way to be different, gain attention eventually and get the well-deserved credit for it. I genuinely am happy for the team and their accomplishments that they've achieved over the past years. React has became a top-tier framework that offers everything we developers need in our daily life of development.
only works if you have supportive management, can only happen at specific companies, so like most extraordinary things in life, the opportunities to shine worldwide are only available to as select few
What's to be proud of? Hooks which behave differently each time you use them together? Little nuances you have to constantly remember just not to introduce a silly error? There have long been alternatives that are 10x faster and easier to work with, that require less than a week to learn entirely and even perform twice as fast in the browser. React is a relic and should be treated as such.
I came here from Darkviper's video to support yet another honest creator that's being attacked for their good work. Coincidentally I'm into programming, so this video will definitely stay open as my 100th chrome tab until I find the time to watch it. Anyways, keep up the good work and I hope the reactors don't demolish your motivation and stop you from uploading.

The documentary was amazing at JSWorld conference! I would encourage anyone to watch it. Great story throughout the movie! Really well done Honeypot :) QA after with Dan & Shane was great as well!
This documentary literally brought tears in my eye. I owe my whole career to React. Was a C++ developer, but then somehow got into Production Support. I was stuck their for 5+ years including a Job loss during recession. Decided to become a developer again, as was trying a lot of thing like Windows app in HTML, CSS and JS. iPhone app with Swift. But one day in the big Tech company where i was working, someone saw React in my resume and never had to look back. Most people at the company were Java developer. Started doing small projects from 2016 onwards and quite good in React. At around 2017, the demand of React was huge, as it's today. But very few people knew it and so i got completed into React projects for the companies. After working in React from sort of starting, now i don't do development anymore. But teaching the next generation about thi awesome library of React, which changed the trajectory of my career. 😀
Thanks to React i became an Associate Architect, UA-camr(TWD- Nabendu Biswas), Author(5 books - GatsbyJS , React Firebase and MERN) and now a full time ReactJS teacher
The story surrounding React and its birth really hits different I think. I got a similar feeling watching the GraphQL documentary. It seems like Facebook was (and probably still is) a great place to bring great minds together and push new ideas forward. Everyone really seems so united to create something amazing together. React definitely changed my career and for that I will be forever grateful! Great documentary. ❤
i am watching this only because i saw a random dude on twitter being angry that he couldn't reupload your work, video is good, im happy, you should be to!
Amazing documentary. My whole career started with React (Native) in an unpaid internship in my freshman year in college, and now I am working for Facebook, the company that invented it. I would not be where I am at right now without React, and I am immensely grateful.
This is wayyyy better than any movie. I really love these documentaries. This to me is the best thing that as a programmer, I should be watching. I am humbled by the things the engineers have gone through to change the web for us to date.
Prior to React, I was primarily a PHP/jQuery dev. Started hearing about React in 2016 and ever since then it's pretty much all I ever use. Such a great doc, so well put together it's inspiring me to make a doc of my own.
I feel really inspired by the React story. Seeing how the initial reaction by the public to a technology built by bright minds from Facebook, was rejection.
I remember being at the first react conf EU, seeing Dan talk about redux and Lee release graphql. I remember cracking jokes with Sunil outside in 40C weather. In the evenings people formed circles around members from the team to pick their brains. I remember speaking to Lee about the FB friends counter and how it affected young kids and bullying. The sense of community was so strong and i won’t forget it. Here’s to another 10 years of React!
stallar production, captivating story telling, worthy of the love and effort the awesome contributors put into it to make react what it is today. Thank you Honeypot for bringing these stories to us and showcasing the cool side of opensource.🥰
Loved this! I was in the second semester of my freshman year in 2020 Feb when one of my dorm mate suggested me to try learning React js. Covid happened and we came back home. I dedicated my entire days learning HTML CSS and then JS and finally React. One at a time, building small projects. Did a volunteering internship at a community to understand React better and finally landed on my first real internship at a startup that year in October. Today I am the Tech Lead of that startup (small team of 7) which is a bootstraped profitable one. Being in my freshman year, I didnt see this coming. I owe my career head-start to React! Huge thanks to the team for building such an awesome library. And thank you Honeypot for sharing the React experience with us. ❤️
Wow, I absolutely loved it. Sorry to not see Jordan being interviewed (I imagined you tried) but otherwise so nostalgic and amazing to see something so professional being made about something nobody of my friends and family even know exists. I've worked with React since 2015 and being a contractor haven't had any assignments without it since. Really shaped my career
Heard about the React video shenanigans from DarkViperAU and came to watch the documentary. This is awesome work, and looking at your channel this is not just a one off great video! I'm happy to have found you guys and look forward to the new content you'll make!
I’ve never been a big fan of documentaries about tech, but this was really really interesting, you guys did a fantastic job with this really well done.
Okay. I had no idea documentaries about programming were a thing now and I’m fully in love with them. The level of production behind this one was particularly immaculate. I fell in love with the ending transitioning react animation! I know I’m asking for the world but I hope to see a documentary about all the programming languages on here at some point in my life 😂.
It just melts my heart that how these brilliant developers worked so hard to make React what it is today! super proud of them and their contributions ♥♥
i never liked documentaries about tech, but this story about react is really cool and exciting. When you see all the work involved in react, you understand that this project involves much more than just line of code. This is tech!
"If someone has a question, everyone can jump in and answer it instead of just Jordan" - really loved this and that he describes it as "a big shift". This is one of the indicators that you actually have a team.
Learning React is one of the best things that happened in my life. A game-changing UI library. I waited to see this documentary for so severely. Awesome work 🔥❤
Found your channel thanks to DarkViper, and decided to watch it as I've just started looking into react myself. Amazing documentary, and well presented as well. Thanks for the subtitles, they really helped watching this at 1.5x :D
I can't understate how React changed my life. Things that once looked unattainable to me became the things I now take for granted. All thanks to these folks.
This was very well done. The timing, the pacing, the ups and down, the lighting, the B-roll of people sitting with their V.O., the honesty about what went well and what did not. Superb!!!! [chef's kiss] Hooked on this channel.
React allowed me to leave my country and secure one of the best jobs in one of the largest companies in the world immediately after collage. To say that it was instrumental in changing my life is an understatement 🙏
As a frontend developer I just couldnt express my gratitude to the people who were involved in this process. Thank you so much the devs and honeypot to bring this into light. Yoy guys changed the world in ways few people will understand.
This makes me think about all the technologies that could have happened but have been pushed down to whatever reason. Pretty scary to think about and important to reflect on, especially for leaders in the industry. I have seen big leaders have a very close minded approach to tech, and it's everyone's responsiblity to detect those people and make a push against their rudimentary ideas. Rock on React!
So much joy watching this. One of the most important thinks didn’t get the attention it deserves. React was the first JS library I used and was wow it has been really fun using it! That’s the reason I never wanted to even look at something different. ❤
What an incredibly interesting video! I brought React to my very first job early 2015, just before the first conference happened. I immediately loved the concepts, remember that Netflix loves React post, and seeing Jing Chen here really brings back so many memories because I absolutely loved the ideas behind Flux, and still do. It became my career! I brought React to two companies in Belgium before getting the surprise opportunity to work at Facebook myself. See Dan Abramov have dinner a few tables over in Rathbone. Talk to React core people in bootcamp in MPK. I no longer work at FB but still use React daily, coming up on 10 years now, so I can only be thankful and happy to have made the jump relatively early! Thanks for the documentary!!
Absolutely awesome job on this documentary! And of course, huge thanks to all the people who had a hand in making React the best JS UI library that it is today. React was pivotal in my career as a software engineer and made me love this career so much more. Again, thank you!
here after the controversy over the guy who re-uploaded this vid. I think the guy (despites his crappy attitude afterwards) did more good than harm. Anyway, great documentary. Blessings
After working on Angular for many years, when React was introduced to me, I was one of those who thought it a crap. I admit it! But when I created my first component, I saw the difference in number of lines I had to write in React vs Angular for same thing! The performance of page on DOM was clearly visible! It blew my minds and cant think of any framework now. React is going to dominate JS world for quite a some time just like jQuery did and I am sure someone is cooking something better somewhere which will be better than React! Cheers to the creaters and and contributes of this amazing piece of technology. 🤟
What sticks out is React could have been killed at any point in the early days by a Boss who thought these devs were in above their heads, so facebook's internal culture seems to have been really effective at preventing this from happening.
I remember being the first person advocating React in my former company as a working student. This resulted in so many great opportunities in my career and made me a better engineer. Thanks to the whole React team for their passion and dedication!
Forget what that stupid person did to this video for a little bit of fame and money. This is an awesome and well made documentary with a lot of interesting facts. I appreciate your hard work. I came here from DarkViperAU's video, this is really helpful as I'm currently studying React
It's actually a very impressive documentary. I want to thank all the people who participated in REACT to get here. When REACT was first announced there was some criticism that we thought was due to the way in which RACT JS was released.
Subbing, watching, liking and commenting - DarkViperAu mention you guys in his Rambles and how Theo (who is such a tool) backstabbed you by stealing your content and and claiming "fair use" by "reacting" to it. I despise people like that and your content is professional as was your demeanour toward Theo and his actions. Bravo!
The production quality of this documentary is incredible 😮 it’s also really fun to watch and learn more about the earlier period of React before I even thought about becoming a software developer.
Great to see David Nolen and hear the contribution he made to bringing attention to React. I was in the cljs community at the time and heard of it through David. It was very idiomatic with how ClojureScript’s persistent data structures manage state. The performance impact on rendering they bring to React, all it has to do is compare pointers/refs to know if anything changed. Chef’s kiss.
This is truly amazing! I was thinking that I'm so lucky to use this technology for my projects, and hearing the story and effort of the Engineers made me realize that I can do much better in work using react. Thank you @Honeypot and all the Team behind this for making this awesome documentary for all those who are in the tech community.
Cool documentary! Thank you 😊 I’m just now entering tech industry via internship at a startup, switching careers from an unrelated field of aviation and excited to continue to use React. Thank you for this great technology.
Mr. Sebastian Markbåge is so calm and very reserved. typical criteria for really smart folks but also could be a sign of coping with smth really difficult.
Really enjoyed it. Love React. As an Android dev with Java / Kotlin background, React took me only a month to learn enough to publish my first prod app on Heroku, a fairly complex one. Kudos to the team.
We love React and seeing our heroes, this is nothing less than a superhero movie! Thanks Honeypot for this and thank you everyone who built this piece of technology which changed the life of millions!
I was very excited for this documentary to come out, I felt so emotional by the end of it. This is by far the most valuable documentary for the entire Dev Community.
Ah man! The video production, the audio, the edits. I don't even know what React.js is, and I'm still watching this. This looks way too good for UA-cam
1:14:38 When Tom starts explaining how it was all a team effort, it's this moment I was tearing up!! In love with these documentaries!! Keep them coming.. ❤
I literally got emotional over this documentary. I think it reflects the dreams and struggels of web development very well and overall gives a sensational feeling of overcoming problems with huge enthusiasm and trust in their vision. 10/10 best one so far, Honeypot. Ty
Thank you for this beautiful documentary, interesting to see all the highs and lows and its good for newer devs to get context of how we got where we are, personally I didn't think about how Facebook has its own culture from the open source community which affects things. I'm now looking forward to a documentary about Angular, maybe next year since a lot of changes are planned this year. It will be a hectic one because Angular has been through a lot.
Came here to support this channel after seeing DarkViperAU's video. I'm not a programmer but i will finish this video from start to end. :) Keep up the good work :)
at first i didn't even understand Reactjs, but then by time i watched many tutorials an practiced it, it just became my favorite Frontend framework, i just love working with react no matter how hard it is, it was thanks to react that i gained much experience in javascript because he makes things very simple ! i pick react js and always will do for any project i work with
The documentary was amazing bring me back to the best memories from 2010 at that point in time everybody in the world was working to solve problems in web and mobile, the energy and vibe in the conference was like rock start incredible time thanks guys good job!
Every time I get to write a little React component I get a little smile on my face and it's wild to think I've been using it ~7 years. Thanks for 7 years of smiles, team!
The talk by Jordan Walke at ReasonConf 2019 is a nice complement to this documentary. There, he gives his perspective on the ideas behind React and how React came to be. Link: ua-cam.com/video/5fG_lyNuEAw/v-deo.html
I’m watching this a second time and things I didn’t understand the first time are clear again. Working in cloud, networks and programming, this is really cool interesting stuff. Particularly the very beginnings and design principles of the very beginning of react’s creation and its technical advantages versus other methods
Excellent documentary, I must say ❤️❤️. It was like watching a superheroes movie (like avengers). Everyone of them is special (specially Dan 😍 my personal fav). Was also waiting for Jordan to show up all the time😊
The live Q&A following the release of this documentary is now out: ua-cam.com/video/WzRSysq7F4k/v-deo.html (featuring most of the cast). 🤩

It became my career! I brought React to two companies in Belgium before getting the surprise opportunity to work at Facebook myself. See Dan Abramov have dinner a few tables over in Rathbone. Talk to React core people in bootcamp in MPK. I no longer work at FB but still use React daily, coming up on 10 years now, so I can only be thankful and happy to have made the jump relatively early!
Thanks for the documentary!!
Absolutely awesome job on this documentary! And of course, huge thanks to all the people who had a hand in making React the best JS UI library that it is today. React was pivotal in my career as a software engineer and made me love this career so much more. Again, thank you!
here after the controversy over the guy who re-uploaded this vid. I think the guy (despites his crappy attitude afterwards) did more good than harm. Anyway, great documentary. Blessings
After working on Angular for many years, when React was introduced to me, I was one of those who thought it a crap. I admit it! But when I created my first component, I saw the difference in number of lines I had to write in React vs Angular for same thing! The performance of page on DOM was clearly visible! It blew my minds and cant think of any framework now. React is going to dominate JS world for quite a some time just like jQuery did and I am sure someone is cooking something better somewhere which will be better than React! Cheers to the creaters and and contributes of this amazing piece of technology. 🤟
The beginnings were calling for quit but the pioneers kept the vision. What a great documentary
What sticks out is React could have been killed at any point in the early days by a Boss who thought these devs were in above their heads, so facebook's internal culture seems to have been really effective at preventing this from happening.
I remember being the first person advocating React in my former company as a working student. This resulted in so many great opportunities in my career and made me a better engineer. Thanks to the whole React team for their passion and dedication!
Forget what that stupid person did to this video for a little bit of fame and money. This is an awesome and well made documentary with a lot of interesting facts. I appreciate your hard work.
I came here from DarkViperAU's video, this is really helpful as I'm currently studying React
We appreciate you coming to our little corner of the internet! 🙏
It's actually a very impressive documentary.
I want to thank all the people who participated in REACT to get here.
When REACT was first announced there was some criticism that we thought was due to the way in which RACT JS was released.
Subbing, watching, liking and commenting - DarkViperAu mention you guys in his Rambles and how Theo (who is such a tool) backstabbed you by stealing your content and and claiming "fair use" by "reacting" to it. I despise people like that and your content is professional as was your demeanour toward Theo and his actions. Bravo!
I decided to use react for our products.... it definitely was the right decision! thank you and for the developers of nodejs
The production quality of this documentary is incredible 😮 it’s also really fun to watch and learn more about the earlier period of React before I even thought about becoming a software developer.
Glad you enjoyed it! ✌️
Great to see David Nolen and hear the contribution he made to bringing attention to React.
I was in the cljs community at the time and heard of it through David. It was very idiomatic with how ClojureScript’s persistent data structures manage state. The performance impact on rendering they bring to React, all it has to do is compare pointers/refs to know if anything changed. Chef’s kiss.
This is truly amazing! I was thinking that I'm so lucky to use this technology for my projects, and hearing the story and effort of the Engineers made me realize that I can do much better in work using react. Thank you @Honeypot and all the Team behind this for making this awesome documentary for all those who are in the tech community.
Cool documentary! Thank you 😊
I’m just now entering tech industry via internship at a startup, switching careers from an unrelated field of aviation and excited to continue to use React. Thank you for this great technology.
well done IDA !!! this filmmaker has the most sophisticated humour on earth - you all should get to know her in person ! :D
😘
Mr. Sebastian Markbåge is so calm and very reserved. typical criteria for really smart folks but also could be a sign of coping with smth really difficult.
Met Dan when I was working at Facebook. I loved the documentary! So relatable ❤
Really enjoyed it. Love React. As an Android dev with Java / Kotlin background, React took me only a month to learn enough to publish my first prod app on Heroku, a fairly complex one. Kudos to the team.
As a react dev, the graphql and vuejs documentary made me proud and I dont even use them.
Best IT Documentary of all the time, A journey of 12 years
We love React and seeing our heroes, this is nothing less than a superhero movie!
Thanks Honeypot for this and thank you everyone who built this piece of technology which changed the life of millions!
Ahhh, it's amazing to see how to React evolved over the years. This thing pays my bills guys. Thanks to the creators
Incredible documentary, production and storytelling is out of this world. Thank you!
Thank you! 💛
Thankyou for all of you who work hard behind the react core team. ❤My life changed when i learn react and now i had great career with react.
Dvau gang. Keep doing what you are doing honeypot
I was very excited for this documentary to come out, I felt so emotional by the end of it. This is by far the most valuable documentary for the entire Dev Community.
This was very inspiring, so nice to see get to know those super good developers on the process of creating React
Ah man! The video production, the audio, the edits. I don't even know what React.js is, and I'm still watching this. This looks way too good for UA-cam
The Vue documentary was amazing. Can't wait!
1:14:38 When Tom starts explaining how it was all a team effort, it's this moment I was tearing up!! In love with these documentaries!! Keep them coming.. ❤
I literally got emotional over this documentary. I think it reflects the dreams and struggels of web development very well and overall gives a sensational feeling of overcoming problems with huge enthusiasm and trust in their vision. 10/10 best one so far, Honeypot. Ty
Thanks Toni 💕
Thank you for the documentary, HoneyPot. Really great work. Keep rocking! 🚀
Thank you for this beautiful documentary, interesting to see all the highs and lows and its good for newer devs to get context of how we got where we are, personally I didn't think about how Facebook has its own culture from the open source community which affects things.
I'm now looking forward to a documentary about Angular, maybe next year since a lot of changes are planned this year. It will be a hectic one because Angular has been through a lot.
Came here to support this channel after seeing DarkViperAU's video. I'm not a programmer but i will finish this video from start to end. :) Keep up the good work :)
at first i didn't even understand Reactjs, but then by time i watched many tutorials an practiced it, it just became my favorite Frontend framework, i just love working with react no matter how hard it is, it was thanks to react that i gained much experience in javascript because he makes things very simple ! i pick react js and always will do for any project i work with
The documentary was amazing bring me back to the best memories from 2010 at that point in time everybody in the world was working to solve problems in web and mobile, the energy and vibe in the conference was like rock start incredible time thanks guys good job!
Every time I get to write a little React component I get a little smile on my face and it's wild to think I've been using it ~7 years. Thanks for 7 years of smiles, team!
darkviper legion bri ging in the vieuws
Thank you guys for making this project open source and fighting for it’s existence… you are real heros ❤
I think Typescript also deserves a video like this considering it took years to be popular (when React took only like 1 year to become mainstream)
NO
Here thanks to @DarkViperAU
Learning React right now so yk, not a bad video for me to watch
React changed my life, it is the backbone of my career. Thank you
I would have liked to see Jordan Walke in the doc, having his perspective on all of it would have been really cool
The talk by Jordan Walke at ReasonConf 2019 is a nice complement to this documentary. There, he gives his perspective on the ideas behind React and how React came to be. Link: ua-cam.com/video/5fG_lyNuEAw/v-deo.html
+1, Do you have any idea why he didn't in the documentary?
I’m watching this a second time and things I didn’t understand the first time are clear again. Working in cloud, networks and programming, this is really cool interesting stuff. Particularly the very beginnings and design principles of the very beginning of react’s creation and its technical advantages versus other methods
Excellent documentary, I must say ❤️❤️. It was like watching a superheroes movie (like avengers). Everyone of them is special (specially Dan 😍 my personal fav). Was also waiting for Jordan to show up all the time😊
This is the power of a small, focused team
This was just incredible. Thank you HoneyPot for this one.
Honeypot we love your work, please make a documentary on Rails.
RAILS has done more for startup that the boatload of VC.
