I switched a middle sized app to Tanstack Router + Vite while I was walking my dogs. Then 30 minuts-1 hour QA and it was done. This should have never happened before AI.

(I did switch because I was tired of the bloated network tab with 100 unnecesary RSC calls, the 5 seconds lag when clicking on an internal link, the 10 seconds "hot reload" after a change... I'm on a M4 MAX with 64GB of ram....)

Spinning a web like that today is 30 minutes of Claude Code prompting.

But like it or not, the gatekeeping of Apple and Google means that pushing an app to their stores is days work and wait time.

So yeah, reeks of ai slop.

As a side note, I'm slowly moving out of Next.js, as you said, is bloated, full of stuff that is just noise and that benefits them (more network requests more money) for little user benefit.

Right now for me the gold standard is Vite + Tanstack Router. (And Elysia for api/server, but thats unrelated).

Claude Code experience is massively different depending on the codebase.

Good E2E strongly typed codebase? Can one shot any feature, some small QA, some polishing and it's usually good to ship.

Plain javascript? Object oriented? Injection? Overall magic? Claude can work there but is not a pleasant experience and I wouldn't say it accelerates you that much.

Sometimes I was missing requests from Claude, and this is a fun way to put myself back in action.

Counter Strike, Half life, Old School RuneScape, Stardew Valley… Are some of the ones available.

I would never go full mongo considering how easy is now a days to have TypeScript first postgres.

Now, velocity and confort, they don't beat any top IDE.

We say “dejame en paz”.

And is not a young thing, is how it is said around here.

And while it’s not as popular as before it’s still going strong in summer.

I’m Catalan so we call it “la fresca”, translates to “to the fresh air”.

In my street, ~5-10 people, my mother and some neighbours still do it.

The way towns are build in spain facilitate that, single houses but no garden. We live door by door.

So if you want to be outside you are by definition accesible.

Before TV people used to also be a lot in the balcony just chilling and chatting with people passing by.

This is my street in google mapa in case someone is interested:

And I have more:

mediavida(dot)com ( it means half-life :) )

And then I have random ones:

redcafe(dot)net foro.acb(dot)com

I read them, and post on them daily, forums are alive and kicking it on europe :)

I understood that my chaotic nature isn’t due to a lack of organization—it’s because I thrive in chaos. I can function well without strict structure because I don’t need it to stay effective.

My manager, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. She needs everything documented and noted, not because she’s inherently more organized, but because the absence of structure creates anxiety and discomfort for her.

She actually complimented me on my ability to navigate uncertainty, to adapt without needing full control, and still feel capable and at ease.

It felt like an epiphany, shifting the way I perceive this entire topic.
