You might believe you should spend less time thinking about code because of AI.
I strongly disagree! We’re watching this play out live where tons of AI generated code becomes a liability.
At the end of the day, an engineer needs to be responsible / on call for code that gets shipped to production. If you don’t understand the system you’re trying to debug, you’re probably going to have a bad time.
Yes, AI can help with all of this, if you set up the proper systems. You can have agents triage prod logs, look at errors, etc. You can speed up parts of the investigation, but an engineer needs to make the call. There might be serious customer or financial implications from that change.
I expect the trend continue for trimming dependencies, vendoring code so you can modify it directly, preferring simpler systems with fewer abstractions, and spending waaaay more time thinking about system design and code maintenance.
I’ve said this before, but it’s a great time to get familiar with CS fundamentals and some of the history behind what great software looks like. Many parts will be different in the coming years as AI progresses, but also a lot more than people realize will stay the same.

@TimoBuilds_ Thankfully I have a active community of 1.8k users on discord who are already using one of my B2C projects in entertainment niche so I just ask them for initial idea validation and since I built trust they sometimes become early subscribers as well which helps a lot :)

> Why are people moving from Next.js to TanStack Start?
I've been seeing a lot of YouTube videos lately about developers moving from Next.js to TanStack Start. As someone still relatively new to the JS ecosystem, it's hard for me to tell what's real technical improvement versus YouTube hype/content monetization.
I'd love to hear from people who actually use these frameworks in production or have serious experience with them.
- What problems with Next.js are pushing people away?
- What does TanStack Start do better in practice?
- Is this mainly a DX trend, performance thing, architecture preference, or just "new shiny tool" energy?
- Would you recommend a beginner/indie developer learn TanStack Start today, or is Next.js still the safer/default choice?
Looking for honest opinions from experienced devs rather than influencer takes.

This is the kind of advice I would expect from anyone that is incapable of building a maintainable codebase or a product worth maintaining.

A lot of people are building with the assumption that the codebases we work in today will still matter next year. I’m not sure if that’s the case.
