This is my take on it, but I realize now that it’s going to vary a lot from person to person.
The workflow is all the jank that comes with HMR, or worse, reloading entire pages to see changes.
The port number isn’t a specific thing so much as an allusion to the workflow most people use. You’re focused on a single component quite often, but working with it in an entire page served through your entire app server. It’s overkill and slower than necessary, and sometimes comes with all kinds of state frustrations outside of the scope of your component.
Changing the port doesn’t inherently change the workflow, it’s just calling out which port most of us use for that workflow and suggesting to investigate what could be better than that workflow.
They’ve made some changes to the page now, so hopefully this isn’t a source of confusion anymore.
