Any of you keeping up to date with modern web dev?
3 years ago by strudel6242 to c/programming
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.

As a hobbyist programmer, the answer is "no". I went to college 10+ years ago and was already outdated. I never got a job and decided to abandon this path.
A while ago I decided to move my Excel project to webdev and wanted to use one of those modern tools... Yeah, no. I felt like a grandpa trying to use a drone. I'm just going to stick to my good ol' PHP and jQuery.
There have been so many changes in such a short time, imo. It's unrealistic to keep up.
