as a former advocate for Jamstack (https://www.swyx.io/ideas?filter=jamstack https://www.swyx.io/ideas?filter=jamstack) this has been on the cards for a while, and I'm glad that enough consensus has gathered that it is not impolite to talk openly about what it did and did not get right. I should do a full writeup on this as a personal reflection as it was a very major phase in my life but I could not be fully honest about my feelings on why I left since I had so many friends still working on it. all i will say for now is that the Jamstack movement was a champion of simplicity on the web, and I hope that there's an equally powerful voice in the current move towards React Server Components and distributed-system-in-your-frontend trends.
