Hey Reader, I’ve rebuilt my stack for 2025 not because of hype, but because I need tools that help me ship faster while scaling my apps. A few months ago I created a similar video, but since then I have changed quite a few things to help me ship faster. I no longer use a few tools that I shared earlier. In this video, I share the exact principles from some production-ready apps I've shipped. If you’re building SaaS or side projects this year, this might save you weeks 👇. Show some love by...

Hey Reader, So… I just launched something I’ve been secretly working on for over a year 😅. It’s called The Modern Full Stack Next.js Course, a self-paced, interactive course where we actually ship modern, production-grade apps together (7+ real projects, 30+ exercises). Over 300+ developers around the world have already joined in the first 48 hours which blows my mind 🤯. If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to connect frontend and backend, decide between SSR/SSG/ISR, or ship something real beyond...

Hey Reader, I just got back from Amsterdam after speaking at React Summit and wow, what a week! 🇳🇱 I gave a talk called React Framework Showdown 🥊, where I pitted Next.js, TanStack Start, and React Router v7 (aka Remix) against each other in a friendly battle. Why those three? Because they're leading the pack when it comes to modern React and honestly, each one brought something wildly different to the table. I'll share the talk when it's live, but for now, let’s hear it from this week's...

I’ve been there. Whether it’s marketing asking, “How many users signed up last week?” or product wondering, “Did anyone actually use that new feature?”, the questions are simple but the friction to get answers is very real. So I built something for that. Introducing: the AI Agent that talks directly to your...

Hey Reader, A couple years ago, I realized something unexpected: I was growing faster in my career not by doing more tutorials or chasing the next shiny framework but by finding a mentor. Want to level up your Next.js skills? → Find a mentor who has shipped production-ready apps. Want to get better at public speaking? → Find someone who’s done it before. At one point, I had multiple mentors, each helping me with something specific. Their guidance made all the difference and helped me focus.It...
