It's fine. It does what it does well. But - it's a little bit of a black box. The whole JAMstack - is a marketing idea. It's nothing new. But - the problems we're seeing is that people go to boot camps / or learn in tutorials --- and then come to us thinking they are a 'pro' dev... and they can't write basic HTML. The idea of having pre-rendered pages and they hydrating parts of those pages with dynamic data is great! Great idea! So, why do we need to create a system all tangled up in command-line tools and React? People think that every website can be like Dev.to - and that it can just all be created with # markdown - and that I'll only be used by developers - and that's not true. I think that Netlify is doing some cool stuff. They've chosen the right spokespeople... but the way people are using it - seems to be stunting them - instead of helping them.
