ANECDOTE

In-Person Meetings

Wes and Scott have met in person three times.
All meetings occurred at conferences, including Jamstack Conf and Reactathon.

ADVICE

Bookmarking Alternatives

Save important links in relevant project documents.
If revisiting content is crucial, use dedicated bookmarking tools.

INSIGHT

SSG vs. SSR

Static site generation (SSG) is unsuitable for dynamic apps requiring user-specific data fetching.
Server-side rendering (SSR) or client-side rendering (CSR) are better choices for such applications.
