Lightning talk proposal for the Reactive 2016 Conference. Here's a handy retweet link

If you want to hear this talk, or if you just want to support me, please star ⭐ the Gist!

When I started writing React apps, I approached components as if they were “just the V in MVC!” Seriously, we’ve all heard it.

I have found this to be an inferior way of thinking about and building React applications. It makes people treat React as a drop-in replacement for something like a Backbone or Angular 1.x View. In other words, people treat it like a glorified template system with partials and don’t harness the power of its functional paradigms.

This talk is about a functional way to write and conceptualize entire React applications.

	var restify = require('restify');

	var client = restify.createJsonClient({
	url: 'https://YOUR_ORG_NAMESPACE.hullapp.io',
	headers: {
	'Hull-App-Id': 'YOUR_APP_ID',
	'Hull-Access-Token': 'YOUR_APP_SECRET'
	}
	});

	Floating serenely through a peaceful abyss, a sigh escapes; content.
	A siren wails, you're jolted from your respite
	/dev/xsdb1 is at 100%

	A cacophony of alerts screech from the phone.
	Upset is the fragile balance, failure cascades.
	Was only a matter of time.
	Get some coffee.

	All you ping seems to crumble, machine after machine fall; a massacre of uptime.
