The Learning Driven Development Podcast (LDD Pod) is hosted by Josh Cirre and features a variety of content by amazing authors throughout the web. It's a series where Josh gets the incredible opportunity to read, learn, and share with YOU articles, blogs, documentation, stories, or other forms of written content that exist in the tech space.
At the end of each episode, Josh will share his observations and learnings and (probably) ramble about the topic we read together.
Is it better to use the tech stack that you know and you're familiar with or the tech stack that better solves the problem at hand? Can tools like HTMX or Livewire measure up to the needs of a highly interactive web application like NextJS?
Why did Gumroad choose to go with NextJS over HTMX and is that a good thing?
Let's learn together.

Look out, kids: PHP is the new JavaScript - Dave Kiss
I didn't really touch PHP (other than some WP themes or plugins here and there, don't sue me) until 2 years ago when I started building apps in Laravel.
PHP is a much different language than it was 10-15 years ago.
But why is everyone talking about it now? We read an article from Mux/Dave Kiss where we get a front row seat as Dave tries Laravel for the first time.

Hypermedia on Whatever You'd Like - Carson Gross

No. But, it doesn't mean you should use JavaScript for everything.
In this episode, we read an article from Carson Gross (the creator of HTMX) on why Hypermedia should be used on ALL THE THINGS.

Why Gumroad Didn't Choose HTMX - Sahil Lavingia
Published 11 Oct 2024 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Much like TIL, one is just a different syntax for inline CSS. HTMX is a different syntax for inline JS. However, unlike TIL, which has found its place in our toolkit, HTMX didn't scale for our purposes and didn't lead to the best user experience for our customers, at least for our use case. Here's why. One, intuition and developer experience. While it would have been possible to do the right thing in HTMX, we found it much more intuitive and fun to get everything working with next JS. The development process felt natural with next JS, whereas with HTMX, it often fell unnatural and forced. For example, when building complex forms with dynamic validation and conditional fields, we found ourselves writing convoluted server -side logic to handle what would be straight forward client -side operations and react.
