I feel like one of the difficulties that many developers face when considering adopting the Jamstack is that it requires a change in your mental model of how to build an application. This often results in a potentially misapplied belief that Jamstack is just for building simple applications. You'll ...

The latest State of JS survey results are out. As always, survey results need to be taken with a grain of salt. There is always a bit of selection bias involved in these sorts of surveys whereby certain groups tend to be far more likely to respond. These concerns are somewhat reinforced by the surve...

I have been passionate about what we now call the JAMStack since about 2014 - back then it was more like the MStack to be honest. I started out building sites with Jekyll and then Hugo and then tried out a long list of other similar tools. The benefits for sites were obvious - faster and more secure...
