My 2024 Tech Stack: A Personal Walkthrough

As a full-stack developer, I’ve experimented with different tools and frameworks over the years. In 2024, I’ve settled into a tech stack that has proven to be efficient, easy to implement, and scalable for my projects. This post is a breakdown of the technologies I’ve been using this year and why they’ve become my go-to choices.

1. React & Next.js

I’ve been working with React for quite some time now, and it continues to be my front-end library of choice. Its component-based architecture makes it easy to build complex user interfaces, while the vast ecosystem around it ensures there’s a solution for almost any problem.

However, in 2024, I’ve leaned heavily into Next.js. The combination of React and Next.js has been a game-changer, especially when it comes to server-side rendering and static site generation. What I love about Next.js is its simplicity in routing and how easy it makes creating SEO-friendly applications right out of the box.

2. TypeScript

As projects grow in complexity, TypeScript has become indispensable for me. The type safety it provides ensures that bugs are caught during development rather than in production. I’ve found that using TypeScript alongside React and Next.js reduces the risk of errors when working with large codebases.
