Hi guys! Today I gonna talk about NEXT.js as a greatest monster of frameworks like React, VUE or Angular. Some people will say I overkill but I don’t think so. Why?

For as long as I can remember, mankind has been striving to make everything easier. After all, the very creation of the automobile is a revolution that seeks to make our lives easier and speed up certain tasks that can be accelerated with the right technology — the same is true of programming. Why is python such a popular language today? Well, because it is simple, and because of its simplicity it has so many supporters and users.

People often make everything difficult just to prove what awesome experts they are not. They use difficult words, create their own frameworks (I don’t know why, if there is already a ready-made one that solves the same problem), and generally make life difficult for others just to fucking prove something to someone.

The direction of humanity is simplicity.

All in all, I don’t even know if Bruce Lee said it or not (screw it), but it’s true — the simpler something is the better. User friendly is probably the most important thing for everyone. Each of us used to be afraid when starting our adventure with programming, that everything is so complicated.

Probably many of you who graduated from schools, courses were tortured with heavy words and definitions, which at the beginning simply scared you away from learning — and this is a mistake. You don’t need to know the heavy words, you just need to understand what it’s all about, the rest fucking doesn’t matter after all.

It’s the same with NEXT.js.

Next.js gives you amazing opportunities to simplify your work. Built-in routing that is mega-guessy for the user is a step towards making everything just a little more guessable (and that’s the fucking point!) — it pisses me off when people make something difficult, which is not difficult at all, but they make it difficult to make it difficult.

Alright, strap in folks, ’cause Next.js isn’t just a framework
