Next.js 15 with Jimmy Lai and Tim Neutkens

Dec 5, 2024 by SED

Next.js is an open source JavaScript framework developed by Vercel. It’s built on top of React and is designed to streamline web application development using server-side rendering and static site generation. The framework’s handling of both frontend and backend tasks, along with features like API routes and file-based routing, have made it an increasingly popular choice in the web dev community.

Next.js 15 just released in October of 2024 and introduces significant upgrades, including enhanced integration of Turbopack and support for React 19.

Jimmy Lai is a Software Engineering Manager at Next.js and Tim Neutkens is the Tech Lead for Next.js and Turbopack. They join the show to talk about Next.js and what’s new in version 15.

Kevin Ball or KBall, is the vice president of engineering at Mento and an independent coach for engineers and engineering leaders. He co-founded and served as CTO for two companies, founded the San Diego JavaScript meetup, and organizes the AI inaction discussion group through Latent Space.

You know, one of the biggest shifts in the past year or so is the adoption of genAI coding tools like GitHub Copilot. And engineering leaders are trying to figure out if their teams are actually using it, how much they’re using it, and how it’s affecting the business. Are they shipping more? Is more roadmap work being done? How do you know beyond anecdotes and surveys?
That’s why Jellyfish introduced the Copilot dashboard in 2024 in partnership with GitHub…and since then they’ve analyzed data from more than 4200 developers at more than 200 companies.
Want to know an interesting finding? Developers are shipping 20.9% more with Copilot.
