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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Links &amp; Resources<ul><li>TanStack – <a href="https://tanstack.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://tanstack.com</a></li><li>TanStack Start – <a href="https://tanstack.com/start" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://tanstack.com/start</a></li><li>TanStack AI – <a href="https://tanstack.com/ai" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://tanstack.com/ai</a></li><li>Netlify – <a href="https://www.netlify.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.netlify.com</a><a href="https://www.jim-butcher.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a></li></ul><br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/javascript-jabber--6102064/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/javascript-jabber--6102064/support</a>.
