The December Twist: A Next.js Adventure
December 8, 2025
In December, a security vulnerability in Next.js needed an immediate update. Some of the other packages weren’t ready yet, but the update couldn’t wait.
I dove in, adjusting configurations, resolving dependency conflicts, and testing edge cases to keep everything running smoothly. What started as a routine task quickly turned into a problem-solving sprint, requiring both focus and flexibility.
By the end, the system was secure and fully functional. It was a small reminder that even ordinary maintenance can turn into its own story. One where curiosity, persistence, and careful work turn potential disruptions into victories worth remembering.
As Arthur might remind us from The Holiday, even the best-laid plans encounter surprises. These moments teach us that every twist becomes part of the story we carry forward.
