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.

I thought I kind of was... and then I saw your post! I’m coming out of years writing plugins in large old school open source PHP projects and it’s such treat to write my own thing with a nice shiny stack (Laravel/Vue/Vite). PHP8 and ES6 are so much more expressive than their predecessors as well.

I know very little to none about serverless / edge, but to be honest I’ve made peace with the fact I’ll never know everything about the web dev ecosystem. Trying to improve every day is a more attainable goal.
