Using Next.js is malpractice. I've never had a worse experience with a web framework (and I'm using that word extremely loosely here).

I’m ready to bet that anyone that chose Next is now battling a ball of mud and a buggy one with that.

We had a nontechnical person choose Next, against my recommendation but I didn't have the authority to override that choice, and it's been a total nightmare.

It's extremely messy. Hostile to debugging. Hostile to testing. Bad HMR. All this to offer us RPC and filesystem based routing (neither of which I even want in a framework).
