We made it (well, almost). Looking back, I'll remember 2022 as... a year. 😂 Unfortunately, with all the layoffs occurring in tech and the multi-pandemics causing seemingly everyone to be sick (at least here in the U.S.), 2022 seems to be closing on a low note for many people. I truly hope you stay safe and enjoy your holidays. Perhaps, take a break from tech – after you read this newsletter! We'll be back on January 12.

Jamstack Trends: How Will We Develop in 2023?
Some interesting predictions for 2023. I think they are largely spot on but where I have some mild disagreements is that I feel like React growth may stall due to saturation and a growing backlash (though I could be wrong and Remix drives new growth). I also think it’s possible that the end of Web3 may have already happened but it was so inconsequential that we missed it.

Independently Measured Performance of 110 Next.js Sites
This report uses Next.js' own showcase page that leans heavily on Fortune 500 companies as the source of sites to analyze for performance. I'd argue this weighs the results in Next.js favor as one can fairly safely assume that these are companies with large engineering teams and the resources to focus on performance. Nonetheless, the results are not favorable, showing, for example, that ~73% of sites fail Core Web Vitals on mobile. It's worth noting that it does not take changes in Next 13 into account.
