Every year brings a new wave of tools, but a few trends keep compounding: server components, edge rendering, and AI-assisted development workflows.
Server-first is back
Frameworks are converging on rendering as much as possible on the server and streaming the result to the client for a faster first paint.
Performance is a feature
Core Web Vitals are now a ranking factor and a product differentiator. Budget your JavaScript and treat every byte as a cost.
The tools will keep changing, but the fundamentals — fast, accessible, semantic web — remain the durable skills to invest in.
