Storybook for React Server Components
Storybook for React Server Components allows for isolated component development and testing on the server. It supports async components using suspense and provides mocking solutions for data access layer and network requests. The current implementation is experimental and has limitations in fidelity and convenience. To use Storybook for RSC, upgrade to Storybook 8.0 alpha and enable the experimentalNextRSC feature.

You are never taught how to build quality software
Many software projects lack proper quality assurance measures, which can lead to chaotic and stressful release cycles. Computer science education often neglects teaching about QA, even though it is crucial for delivering bug-free software. QA standards are often cut from projects due to budget constraints, resulting in minimal and inadequate testing. To improve the situation, developers need to speak up about the importance of QA and frame it in terms of cost to get management buy-in. Implementing a minimal effective dose of QA measures and focusing on core features can gradually improve software stability. Taking ownership and advocating for QA can benefit both the project and individual developers.
