Rachel Kaufman at React Summit this June #shorts

Description

React re-renders beautifully. Your animations, not so much. 🛠 Rachel Kaufman is a full-stack engineer. Lead organizer of Women and Gender eXpansive Coders DC. 🎙 Talk at React Summit 2026: "Gotta Go Fast: React at 60 FPS" React owns the DOM. But that same virtual DOM logic can tank data-driven animations the moment updates start flying in. Rachel breaks down how to fix it: the right way to get backend data to your frontend fast, why requestAnimationFrame beats setInterval every time, and when HTML Canvas is the unlock. Spoiler: part of the solution isn't React — and that's exactly the point. Real case study. Real performance gains.
