What are you talking about? That's not complexity, those are out of the box features that come with a single script run (create next app or create t3 app) Vercel will even launch that for you without a script, just a button click. Five minutes to launch with my preferred stack, though.

And if we're really racing, Railway.app can spin up deployments AND databases in under 60 seconds. If I tried a speed run, I could get the time down.

If OP can hand configure a python app running on ngnix in manually managed DO droplets in 5 minutes... good on them! The greatest devops of our era.

Also -- I guarantee that a newbie developer can launch a nextjs app faster than hand rolling some DO droplet with python and other technologies. I guarantee I can have a newbie in a bootcamp with a working app on day1 (since it's literally a button click, if we want), while I doubt you could get that newbie out of a bootcamp on his stack at all.

Why so hostile in your comments? It's not a competition about being the fastest. If anything, it only shows immaturity on your part. Time spent setting up a project is negligible compared to other things surrounding it.

You're anyways missing my point. Nextjs isn't a silver bullet, nothing is. And that how long it takes to set up a project is a function of familiarity with the stack.

Edit: thanks for deleting all your personal attacks on me. But also remember, I'm not the one claiming to know everything here (as you wrote in your now deleted post), you're the one that critiqued OP.

Please don't do this sort of tit-for-tat flamewar (or any flamewar) on HN. It's tedious, nasty, and not what this site is for.

We've had to ask you this kind of thing before. If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.

I honestly don't believe I did that in this instance. I felt I argued on technical merits. If you can find their deleted post (not their flagged posts, but a deleted one), you'll see my responses were quite level headed in comparison. After I read that one, asking why they were so hostile feels justified (and quite weak in comparison) on my end.

Why stop there? Why not ditch Next.js altogether and teach your bootcamp students low-code?

Why stop there? Why not ditch computers and teach my bootcamp students to farm?

Because nextjs is an industry standard technology letting small teams rollout complex and great apps in record setting time, used by dozens of major corporations, hundreds of start-ups, and is a wonderful addition to any resume, and a proven way to get your next job.
