Have you had the privilege of working in PHP?\n\nIf you haven't let me tell you:\nYou can have a dynamic website just by putting a single PHP file on a host, anywhere.\n\nIt's magic\n\nFor us React developers, everything is a lot more complicated.\n\nWe want server-side rendering for Google crawl-ability,\nHot Module Replacement for quick feedback in development, and code-splitting to get quick initial page loads for users.\n\nNone of that is easy to implement.\n\nBut there's hope.\n\nThe team at Zeit wants you to have all that but with the simplicity of that beautiful PHP workflow.\n\nAnd they've done it.\n\nWe sit with Tim Neutkens, lead developer on Nextjs, an open source framework, for react, by Zeit.\n\nHe tells us how you can get back to that beautiful, fun PHP experience but with all of the benefits of SSR, HMR, AMP, and so many more initialisms.\n\nI'm so excited to share this chat about Next.js the next-live of static site generation.
