I definitely think it’s important to note it’s not really React that’s mutated it’s damn Vercel with its extreme vendor lock in plan with Next that’s trying to force React to be server side as much as client side, especially now that Vercel employs some React core team members.
Unfortunately worked with someone I was reasonably sure was a ~~paid shill~~ part of some Vercel partner/influencer programme as they were adamant we must use Next (and Vercel but they lost that argument) for a project the team absolutely didn’t need to use it for.
In fact the rewrite of a project was worse than the original application. The original was snappy and instant and just worked meanwhile the Next version was slow, full page refreshes for every action, and just totally awful.
I couldn’t get off that team quick enough.
- langcss 2y agoNext is odd because it gives lots of "high preformance" vibes with static rendering and image optimization. It is fast enough but not as fast as tuning up a classic MVC app which caching, avoiding JS bundles and React or deferring scripts etc. Send out the right cache headers and chuck a CDN in front. Next is ironically fast if you prerender/static generate AND the client disables JS!
