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.

The only ways that this potentially falls short is if you want or need to change jobs and the market is looking for people that know the thing you don't, you're potentially at a disadvantage. Also you may be able to do a thing with the tools you know, but there may be different tools more suited for doing the thing that takes fewer resources or allows resources to be reallocated to other things that customers do care about.
