I’ve been dipping my toes into NextJS, Vercel, PlanetScale, and other serverless / edge providers, and there’s so many terms / concepts thrown my way that I feel overwhelmed a lot of the time.

I mean, I’m already a web developer well versed with React, and I love my SPA setup with Vite, so for others outside the web dev space, this must be a nightmare to keep up with.

Was curious to hear your thoughts on the rapidly evolving space of web dev.

    I am, to a degree, but only because it is my job :)

    Frontend has changed / is changing much more rapidly than backend, IMO.

    I’m not a huge fan of this shift towards eng-driven dev-ops. I get why it’s happened, but infra has never been particularly interesting to me personally and I don’t enjoy owning that aspect of the stack.
