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.

I'm used to the banter, lol! PHP has always gotten a lot of flak, but then everyone uses it quietly. 😂

That said, I was surprised how much it has improved in the last 10 years. I stopped webdev in version 5, and now there's version 8 with a lot of cool stuff that renders old "tricks" useless. I'm like a kid in a candy store, these days.

Yeah I remember trying people to convince it'd changed its ways when 7 came out, but alas the stereotype persists. Oh well, their loss! 🤓

And the outdated php tutorials persists. And the old Stackoverflow answers persists.

It was at least last time I had to update an old app past php 7 because Azure websites was dropping support.
