Sam and Ryan talk about a tricky integration between some asynchronous third-party JavaScript code and React's render cycles. They also talk about how powerful the getStaticProps hook from Next.js is, and share some thoughts on whether Firebase's features justify the fact that by using it you lose out on the GraphQL community's standard libraries and tooling.

Topics include:
