When I was 10 I started teaching myself how to make websites so I could make one about StarCraft.

When I was a little older I ran away from home with my desktop computer and CRT monitor. I found freelance web dev gigs on Craigslist, and eventually a full time job at a marketing agency.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

Honestly, this was the request I've seen the most about SSR frameworks: How can I stop server loaders from running on client side navigations?
@tanstack.com Start solves this with Isomorphic loaders, and it integrates with Query, too. Sooo good 🚀

Frontend/JavaScript folks, is there any consensus on a preference for semantic version ranges vs exact versions when specifying dependencies in your package.json for application development?
