Async React with Vercel's Aurora Scharff

Aurora Sharf joins PodRocket once again to discuss Async React, the pattern behind React 19's transitions, useOptimistic, and Suspense. She explains why "in-between states" are a UX problem, not just a DX one, how Next.js's cache components and App Router fix years of caching confusion, and why perceived performance (INP) matters as much as cumulative layout shift. Plus: the action props pattern, Meta's new Astrix library, and what's still missing before Async React goes mainstream.
