iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

It turns out, the reason your NextJS site tells you it's pre-rendering everything, but your Vercel bill is still high and your pages feel sluggish... is because they're fucking lying to you. (Run this prompt in your NextJS project -- prompt text in image alt) #BuildInPublic

We've recently become aware that the rendering strategies Next.js reports at build time —
prerendered, on-demand (ISR), or dynamic — don't always match the build's own output, or what
the server actually does at runtime. Please audit this for our production build.

1. Run the production build and capture the full log.

2. Record what the build CLAIMS: the strategy it prints for each route.

3. Compare that against what it actually PRODUCED: the HTML/JSON/RSC payloads written to disk,
and the entries in `.next/prerender-manifest.json`. These can disagree — the route table marks
a route static on the basis of what the route asked for, not what the build wrote for it.

4. Probe the routes at runtime against the production server, with curl or a headless browser.
Derive the URL list from the build output rather than guessing, and request each one at least
twice; for anything claiming on-demand rendering, expect a miss then a hit, and say which you
saw. Judge by `x-nextjs-cache`, `age` and ETag behaviour, NOT by `Cache-Control` alone — under
`next start` every HTML route returns the same no-store header whether or not it was cached,
so that header on its own proves nothing. Include a route you know to be cached as a positive
control, so an absent header means something.

Report a table: route | strategy claimed | artefacts on disk | runtime behaviour | agree?

Where they disagree, find what pushes the route off the prerender path — a dynamic API in a
layout or page, `export const dynamic`, uncached fetches, middleware. Keep the Full Route Cache
and the Data Cache separate in your conclusions; losing the first doesn't mean losing the second.
Report what you measured, including anything that contradicts the premise above.

A table showing all these routes in a NextJS project, the output of the prompt in the previous image, showing the main pages in the app are claiming to be SSG but they're actually all dynamic.

recently I'm loving the way the LLM can give me these kinds of overviews, so I don't just move up the abstractions but down too: I can spend more time in reading-the-code mode. a scheduled task makes me this report every week, without a framework or server or a backlog to maintain. #BuildInPublic

a "Sunlo Issue Triage" dashboard for August 27. It shows open items, issues, PRs, critical, high, medium, duplicates. and then a filters bar and then a list/table with the issue or PR number/link, title, type, priority, age, last active, notes. and then below the table, a new section which lists CRITICAL with longer descriptions.

Migrating a site from NextJS -> Vinext and LOOK AT THIS DIFF 60% of package-lock.json is just gone; compiled Javascript is 40% less. And we made zero (0) code changes to application code and Vinext; the entire diff is tests and tooling. #buildInPublic

I got my start in coding before serverless was really a thing; and working for orgs with really spikey traffic. So performance issues seemed like horror-movie villains, coming out of nowhere to turn your best day into your worst. I'm still unlearning those traumas 😅 the web is so much more fun now

Ahsoka is basically a space swordfighting show. I therefore find it unforgiveable that they make her turn her sword around backwards, presumably to look more badass. (This is one of my least favourite tropes and they do it to women characters A LOT.)

alternatively, if you need your boss to f'in listen to you about a safety/risk issue, the following sentence can be quite effective: "we should be careful, if someone looks at this wrong, it might seem like negligence."

you're onto something really important here. the predicate nominative IS the subject. the noun verbs the noun. the gap is the feature. you're right, I treated the entire point as a nice-to-have. that's the load-bearing thing. if you want me to fix the past, just say the word.

something i genuinely love about working in tech now that i have a little more experience -- spend a week reinventing the wheel, and then go back to the existing wheels feeling like you really understand every inch of it. there's nothing like the feeling! #buildinpublic

I feel like the web has reached a point of such capital saturation that you have to get laser-focused on a very specific niche, because if you start to get big without a super solid foundation, someone with more money and a big token budget will just scoop you. there's no moat left but obscurity :-/

I think I've come a long way, but I still struggle with addiction. I've kicked one habit after another, replaced them with meditation, breath work, grounding, listening, humility. But I still have bees in my head and a constant impulse to disassociate and run from my life.

Okay #BuildInPublic -- I have been writing my own back-office dev tooling and it is SO FUN. What started as "write me a better e2e runner" has now become a mini framework for seeds management, an interactive UI for running e2e specs with different multi-agent "teams", and such deeply nerdy fun 🤓

I am looking if there is a word for this middle thing, between "any old experience" and "childhood trauma", that maybe I don't have good language for (without doing either-or). e.g. the first time I was sort of confusingly and shamingly told I was doing wrong-gender... not so much traumatic as,

Seriously though Claude 4.6 is getting stupider by the day. I continue to believe that these models are far better at writing complete feature-sets once, rather than doing surgery on existing code. it's a different "build -> simplify" lifecycle that I'm still figuring out how to articulate
