   Next.js is the most powerful new skill I’ve learned. Static sites, but you can author them in React, but it’s a static site, but you can also do client-side React. SEO and OpenGraph friendly, and you can fetch data from any source at build-time. Build with GitLab CI and deploy to GitLab Pages. Truly amazing.

     @Mia You know, weirdos online often hate on good web software, but normal people disagree. And this is why soydevs get paid exorbitant salaries and weirdos online make “pure” ugly websites that only other weirdos online want to use.

     >soydevs get paid exorbitant salaries

     Yes, but not because the software is actually good. It's just more complex, more difficult to learn.
     Also, webshit is self-perpetuating. I believe you're familiar with the need to rewrite your web application every year because the tooling and best practices are constantly changing. This creates a demand for high-skilled web developers, and as more websites switch to "modern" web tech, this demand is constantly increasing. So do the salaries.
     Those weird ugly websites don't have this problem - they could work for decades with minimal maintenance. Of course it's possible to create beautiful websites that require minimal maintenance, but people in the industry don't want lose their jobs, so it will take a while until the bubble pops and everyone realizes that weirdos were right all along.
