Just migrated a complex dashboard to React Server Components. The performance difference is night and day.

No more loading spinners for initial data. No more hydration mismatches. The user experience feels instant.

The mental model shift is real though - you have to think differently about where your logic runs. But once it clicks, you realize how much unnecessary JavaScript we've been shipping to browsers.

// This just works now - no useEffect, no loading states
export default async function Dashboard() {
  const data = await fetchUserData()
  return <UserStats data={data} />
}

The future of React is server-first, and I'm here for it.
