All true. And there’s a lot of projects like Next.js. Big guys on this market are always in a hurry. And frameworks have become piles of tech debts and broken promises.

I see this everywhere, unfortunately. Speed and short-time financial value over long-term quality

This is so true! I had troubles with LangChain once and dived into its codebase and what I saw there was conplete horror and lack of some overall driving direction - layers of new functionalities added as if/else statements were intermingled with some polymorphism here and there.

Its how things are today - beautiful on the outside but ugly on the inside. Probably because everyone crunches hard to ship more than competitors and developer facing DX is prioritized over maintainer facing DX unfortunately...
