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.

I gave up when back in the day, we had like JQuery, AngularJS, Vue.js, React.js, and so forth and so I just stick with JQuery for better or worse for most of my professional career in ASP.Net Core development. (CDN alleviate the trouble of distributing JQuery and web browser would cache it, so I don't put much stock on people claiming that it's bloated or heavy.)

I often bring up that we just needed better GUI toolkit with a designer and to replace all of HTML/JS/CSS with just WebASM and WebGPU. Rather than supporting legacy crappy unholy trinity languages, we could push for "survival of the fittest" languages/tools to fill into this space.
