React Router 7 is pretty amazing. It always has been.
But v7 especially is exciting because it offers "library mode" and "framework mode".
But "library mode" then actually can be used in at least two different ways.
And the docs don't necessarily cover that very well...

ChatGPT & co are becoming better and more capable all the time.
Soon, every human will be able to use AI assistants to do pretty much anything they want.
Maybe.
But maybe, we'll also see a different outcome.

Create React App (CRA) has officially been marked as "deprecated" now.
Great - the ecosystem moved on to Vite years ago already.
The React is not inclined to do so, though.

More money is thrown at AI models, that seem to become more capable & cheaper.
Is it "Game Over" for us humans?

2024 is (almost) over. And it's been a difficult year for web devs. At least for some. At the same time, it's been a year that saw multiple big releases - like React 19 and Angular 18 & 19.
But what else?

So....should you still learn how to code?

As always, backwards-compatible (though there is one big breaking change!) but packed with features!

TailwindCSS is an amazing CSS framework that changed how many (most?) web developers style their websites.
But vanilla CSS also developed quite a bit over all those years. And it has certain advantages over TailwindCSS.

Astro is a really amazing web framework. But it seems as if not that many developers are actually using it. That's too bad!

You can see AI as a threat or embrace those tools to boost your productivity!
