In this episode, Fran and Jeff talk with <a href="https://twitter.com/leeerob">Lee Robinson</a>, the VP of Developer Experience at Vercel. We take a look at some new or now stable features in Next.js, like <a href="https://nextjs.org/docs/advanced-features/middleware">middleware</a>, the <a href="https://nextjs.org/docs/api-reference/next/image">image component</a>, and <a href="https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/data-fetching/incremental-static-regeneration">ISR</a>. Both Vercel and WP Engine support a lot of open source projects as a part of their strategies, and we dig into why that's important and good for the web in general.&nbsp; Last we discuss many of Lee's ideas on how to build developer communities at both the global and local scale. <a href="https://twitter.com/leeerob">Lee's Twitter</a> <a href="https://leerob.io/">Lee's Website</a> <a href="https://leerob.io/blog/dx">Lee's Post on DX </a>
