Next.js 16 (opens in new tab)

I’m guessing 400MB for a blank Hello, World app

It's funny that on the 16th iteration, they change a core feature like middleware and break all existing code. Nextjs is pure garbage, advertised by React.

I suppose they are still shipping these things. With mcp integration and bluh, bluh, bluh. I marvel always at how much has changed and also how little has changed in building websites. My verdict: little has changed on the web. We just have too much commercial interest and a bunch of cs grads that need to do something with their theoretical skills.

Neat (if it works):
