we run next.js on the frontend and the page router to app router migration was really painful. rails having stable conventions sounds very good when you go through something like that. I keep thinking about this trade off - move fast with the latest thing or just pick boring tech that works for 5 years.

nextjs pages -> app router is a massive change: new paradigm, practically replatforming.

yes exactly. we had to rewrite most of our data fetching logic. there was no real way to do it gradually, one day we just had to commit and do the whole thing. took way longer than expected.
