I was wondering if you have any good resource to recommend for getting back to web dev? Or even to share the frameworks that cool kids use these days?
To give you an idea of what I am after, a few years ago (well, it has now been >10), I took the the Startup Engineering online course [1] that was taught by (the now fairly famous) @balajis[2]. It was a super useful course as it was very hands on and introduced students to tools and frameworks that were state of the art back then and used in production. It wasn't very comprehensive, but enough for someone to build a simple prototype and then use this as a starting point to explore technologies in more detail.
I tinkered with web dev back then for a few years, but then gave up and focused on my studies and later my day job (C++ and a bit of python, but all for embedded systems). I now want to get back to web dev for fun side projects, and I was wondering if you have any recommendations for resources that are similar to that course? I want to get my hands dirty building things rather than reading long tutorials. Any suggestions on (full) stacks to explore are also more than welcomed.
Thanks HN!

React + NextJS as the main stack
Search "Antonio NextJS Tutorial" on YouTube and do his most recent Trello clone.
It's 12 hours but will take much longer with the pausing and typing out code yourself
I'm using Postgres in Docker instead of the planet scale MySQL. Clerk is fantastic, I never want to write what they have made so easy
