Vercel is a (more?) opinionated ecosystem that influences higher adoption of Server-Side-Rendering and other features. This encourages projects to use more niche APIs like Suspense, and due to the capital, marketing, and bearish adoption of Vercel products by vocal parties (startups) - will influence React's developers to cater to them.

I'm agnostic because I quit full stack web development ~6 months ago. I think the product development story sucks and combined with the market economics of the current tech industry is just not fun or profitable to invest my career in.

It's -probably- a good thing that stuff like SSR becomes mainstream/required. But I really don't like that one of the main entities behind it, Vercel, has raised $563M as of their latest Series E as they steam towards an IPO of their Framework/Cloud offerings.



What are you doing after quitting full stack web dev?
