  • What up nerds?

  • I'm Jared and this is change log news for the week of Monday, July 28th, 2025.

  • If you didn't make it to our Denver live show, I'm sorry, but the FOMO was very real.

  • One attendee called the entire weekend a smash hit.

  • I have to agree.

  • We met up, we chatted, we laughed, we hiked, we ate too much,

  • we did a big thing, no spoilers here, and we even started dreaming of the next one.

  • Huge thanks to Gerhard Lazou, Breakmaster Cylinder,

  • and Nora Jones for making the show extra special.

  • We're producing the live bits now and will ship the resulting episodes and videos starting next week.

  • Okay, let's get into the news.

  • It's time for the modern CSS to kill the SPA.

  • Jono Alderson takes aim at single page apps as the answer to the inevitable request to make it feel like an app.

  • Quote, at some point during the scoping process, someone says the words,

  • a CMO, a digital lead, a brand manager.

  • And with that single phrase, the architecture is locked in.

  • It'll be an SPA, probably react, maybe view.

  • almost certainly deployed on Bercel or Netlify,

  • bundled with a headless CMS and a GraphQL API for good measure.

  • But the decision wasn't really about architecture.
