Moore's Law--frightening. Computers get 1000 times as powerful every 15 years.

Luckily for us, our tools get 1000 times slower. No stress, no singularity. Thank you "Next JS"!

I don’t use Next.js unless it makes sense or I absolutely have to. I will admit it’s good when you need full SSR like for e-commerce, but the trade offs are rough imo

I honestly think Vite's more than enough for SSR/SSG needs. It doesn't enforce filesystem based routing and you can fetch whatever data you need to render such pages in a single script and also hydrate.

Personally, the main advantage to using Next for me (and most others who come from a frontend background) has been the ease of deployment.

I don't think that's a strong enough incentive to keep up with an ever changing ecosystem. Might as well learn CI/CD stuff instead.

You can deploy your frontend on Vercel/Render without leaning into all the garbage. 

You don't need to learn CI/CD for this. You just need to know how to build great software.

Sweet, thanks! I'll def hit you up when I need help with this

If you need a hand getting a server running let me know! 

I am the getting a server running kinda guy.

Ik you can. I'm saying that the incentive to use Next for building a fullstack application isn't that huge for me personally.

I'd prefer to not be sucked into an ecosystem because I don't know how to get a server running.
