I’ve been a Luddite. What’s your favorite part of Next.js?
I stared with basic web dev eight years ago and quickly found React. Four years ago I went down a YouTube rabbit hole about ‘performance’ and found myself in the ‘web developers suck’ camp for the next three years. A year ago I decided to ‘do web development right’ by using Rust for everything and React for nothing because JavaScript is bad. Ask me how many things I’ve built that people use?
The point is I watched part of Theo’s stream today and something clicked. Maybe my prefrontal cortex has finally come online now that I’m pushing thirty years old but I just don’t have the time or energy to reinvent every damn wheel. There are too many things I want to build.
So I’m binge-reading Next.js docs and want to know what all of your favorite parts of Next.js (and vercel) are? And thanks Theo for calling me out indirectly on my bullshit.
