That was very thoughtfully written. Thanks for explaining the history and the tradeoff in such details. I really appreciate it.

Welcome! Hope that provides a little bit of (opinionated) context. A lot of people here hate Next.js and I don't think that's quite fair. It has its place. It's just not right for EVERY project.

I encourage anyone starting a new web app to compare & contrast different frameworks, building a tiny prototype in each, to see which devex and user experience they like the best. That can include Next, yes, but also all the other ones mentioned (HTMX, Svelte, Vue, Vite, Astro, Remix). Even pure serverside ones can still have their place, for some use cases. I think our industry is differentiated enough these days that there's no one-size-fits-all framework anymore; they each have their strengths & weaknesses.

I am curious, what are the drawbacks? I was planning to learn Next.js but probably won't if the tradeoffs are bad.

I heard that too. But if you go their homepage and check the source in dev tools, there are links that point to static assets being served by Next.js.

I think they meant that chatgpt.com itself is powered by remix now, not the marketing website

Yes the app itself is Remix.

Thanks for sharing :)

Thanks for sharing. TLDR looks really cool. It seems like they have a lot of different types of newsletters. For example, DevOps, IT, Product Management, AI, and more.

I found this fascinating. Google, now with a market cap of about $2 trillion, had to "borrow" machines from other researchers to deploy and run code. Talk about resourcefulness!

I meant through cloud vendors. I heard about AWS Device Farm. But I haven't used it. Do you have any idea about if it's good?

Oh I see. Yeah it does the job. :)

That's an interesting approach. I am curious, why is editing and adding notes to the Tweets important for you?

Thanks

Buy as in be a customer. For example, you subscribe to a paid Substack like ByteByteGo Newsletter.

Ah no, I view them all as superfluous. I don’t need more noise in my life
