I know much of the HN crowd loves to hate on bloated SPA applications (and not for good reason, we all deserve better perf), but this comment makes no sense. You can have a fast website with no loading spinners, pre-rendering, static HTML and optional/client hydration running on Jamstack infra.
It's misleading to suggest Jamstack = complicated/slow/bloated and SSR = fast/simple/good ux. Please take time to understand your tools. You can build a brittle/slow/poor ux website with SSR if you don't know what you're doing and/or don't care.
I'd advise others to not worship one technique over another. Choose a stack that solves a problem for your users, demonstrate empathy, evaluate tradeoffs and things will be fine.
