**Identity Crisis: Redefining the Frontend Developer**
For years, "Frontend developer" meant something specific - a clear skill set, a defined role, a professional identity. But the borders between frontend, backend, and design are blurring, and AI is holding the eraser. In this talk, we'll confront the identity crisis head-on and explore the mindset shifts needed when frontend stops being a role and starts being a skill.
**19:10 - Sagi Carmel** -Founder and CTO @ Reeeally
**Why I choose AstroJS instead of NextJS in 2026?**
In the landscape of the JS ecosystem this one framework isn't the most know, and just like other great things it should! It was bought by cloud flare and features one of the best DX experience out there when it comes to both static and ssr website development.
Let's explore why by using nextJS as comparison.

Shut Up & Write!® at Beit Ariela
Join us for some focused writing time. All writers and all experience levels are welcome and don’t worry, no one will see what you've written. This session is about getting your writing done and meeting other writers in your area.
When you show up, say hello to everyone, grab a drink, and get your writing tools ready. Once you’re all settled, take some time to chat with your fellow writers. Once everyone’s arrived, I will lead quick introductions and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session.
Afterward, we’ll have time to chat and get to know each other. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers. If you don’t have time to stick around, no worries!
If you don't know how to find the location, or how to find us inside - write me (the organizer, Alex Zak).
**A note about the format**
We don’t host critiques or readings. These events are a safe space for writers of all skill levels and genres to work on their craft, so no one will read or critique your writing.
