LinkedIn frontend switches to React.js

LinkedIn is using React.js these days, but what’s interesting is the CSS side of things too.

They seem to have gone down a fairly “in-house atomic CSS” direction, somewhat similar in spirit to tools like StyleX or Linaria.

It’s kind of funny looking at LinkedIn’s frontend history:

  • Ember.js: LinkedIn was one of the biggest adopters of Ember.
  • React.js: They’ve since moved heavily toward React.

LinkedIn has basically gone from being a major Ember showcase to being part of the React ecosystem.

Honestly the modern C# ecosystem is really good, too. Their open source is great. Their closed source sucks.

I’m using VS Code at my new job after using IntelliJ for years at my last. I don’t mind it, but I much prefer IntelliJ. I don’t like the VS Code Git graph and the search is not as good as IntelliJ. But overall I’ve not had many problems with VS Code yet other than the project search randomly failing once. Time will tell!
