Incredible that the builds were ever 10min. How far things have regressed.

Time to move your blog off Next too? It’s slow as molasses for me, loads a billion JS chunks and JSON fragments, when it can be a static site.

This is the kind of post I wish more teams would write. The "we picked the popular thing and it got slow" story is so common. But most teams just live with it. They don't want to touch it. 10 minutes to 2 minutes is huge for dev speed!

I'm a huge fan of tanstack start especially the ability to just static prerender some paths (a feature I'm missing a ton with astro) For me tanstack start is the new dominator on the stack!

We made a similar move from Next.js to Vite (with Tanstack router): CI build dropped from 12 min to barely 2 min. We won't look back.

They don't even mention the Next.js version used - where they using Turbopack or not?

Now try to do the same thing that MDN did to their website and reduce 2 minute build times to 2 seconds.

:suprised_pikachu_face:

Is the quality of software engineers really dropped that low that people get excited when they move off from "heavy bloated" frameworks to lighter alternatives? Or is this just SEO farming garbage to position the company higher in search results?

Zero references to Turbopack, maybe start there?

Can we just get back to html/jQuery/handlebars? Those were the good old days :`(

This is one of the most frustrating thing about working with NextJS. There seems to be no way to improve the speed of building the app.
