About this episode

The episode features a discussion on modern frontend architecture and AI tooling with guests from TanStack and Netlify.

It’s great to be back behind the mic! In this episode of JavaScript Jabber, I’m joined by Dan Shapir and our guest Jack Harrington from Netlify and TanStack for a wide-ranging, high-energy conversation that covers everything from modern frontend architecture to AI tooling—and a few entertaining detours along the way. We dig into what’s new and exciting in the TanStack ecosystem, including TanStack Start and TanStack AI, and explore how these tools rethink the balance between frontend-first development and server-side capabilities. Along the way, we unpack React Server Components, AI SDKs, agentic workflows, and how developers can realistically use AI today without losing their minds—or their context windows.
