If it significantly cuts costs and helps scale, then do so. Or else, it is a distraction. Can it 2x your productivity, reduce shipping time, or more?
Have there been any recent web technologies that you evaluated and found could potentially double your productivity or substantially reduce your time to ship new features? If so, what were the key benefits that caught your attention?
Nextjs has been solid for several years and has seen significant improvements each year. It stays modern, and is easy to use. Learning ReactJS/NextJS has made dev so much easier that it must be a requirement.
It's great to hear that Next.js has significantly improved your frontend development experience. To better understand your web stack, could you share what technologies you currently use on the backend?
supabase, cloudflare, deno, resend. Trying to keep it as simple as possible. Open-source the better.
Honestly, no. I used to get shiny object syndrome really bad, and I'd constantly search for the ✨most-optimized✨ tech stack, not realizing I wasn't actually getting anything done.
I stick with the basics that I'm familiar with and work. For me, it's enough.
(The only new thing I'm using would be Unity for game development, but technically game dev is still new to me and it's not like I was going to build my own game engine lol)
I understand your point about sticking with technologies that you're familiar with. That certainly helps maintain focus and productivity.
Since you've found a stack that works well for you, I'm curious to hear more specifics. What technologies are you currently using across your frontend, backend, and database layers?
