Performance feels great! I’m currently using Next.js and Vercel for https://sedna.sh/, and despite the 100 lighthouse score I will say - the amount of context and knowledge I need to have to keep it that way makes me very nervous at the prospect of onboarding others onto the project. :/

Quote from a Vercel salesguy in our partnering company: > Dev team estimates x months for feature z, but that means they usually finish faster at y months. So expect feature z at y months or so. There goes countless dev hours estimating to give customers realistic timelines. This was in a presentstion from a Vercel salesguy to a dev team working with Vercel. Laughed so hard. It was tragic.
I'm seeing open source projects get released that are literally designed to be hosted on Vercel or something similar and it's like... Okay, but that just means you'll need to do a lot of work when [insert platform here] goes away or gets enshitified, or (as is more likely) abandon the project.
they used unpublished version of react in next, advertise a lot, overpriced everything etc.
Will they expand this trend under Vercel, a company known for being very aggressive with pushing people to use its obscenely overpriced service?
overpriced AWS wrapper that's really hyperspecific to Next.js (and soon to be Nuxt i guess)
