Any of you keeping up to date with modern web dev? (beehaw.org)

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.

Svelte is where the fun is ๐Ÿ™‚

We have a guy doing svelte on my team and it looks great, I'm just hoping it's not going to be a blocker down the road when we need more people. Is it popular these days?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, even Apple has been hiring Svelte developers for 4 or so years

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.

When I start to feel overwhelmed, I just go check the Days since the last new JavaScript framework counter.

Usually calms me down.

Fireship on YouTube gives my regular dose of new frameworks and similar developments. Apart from that not really.
