Not Really a fan of Gatsby personally, but to you Shawn, I say Bravo! This is the right tutorial series at the right time, coming from the right person. Thank you.

I love Gatsby so much. Thanks for creating a series on it; much-needed refresher!

Excellent video, mate. I'm over 50 and learning the basics of code and web dev to work on my own proof of concept ideas. This was helpful.

This amount of energy and craftsmanship is unheard of. I bet he put one drop of liquid plutonium in his tea!

I saw a comment under your recent Full React Tutorial, where a guy said something about the right moment of releasing your tutorials and that you're a real ninja. I can confirm that too! I need a new website for a client and I was looking for Gatsby. 2 days ago! P.S. The Net Ninja sounds better than The Web Warrior. :)

Can someone help me understand something about Gatsby?
So if I have a large site, with, say, thousands of blog posts. Then does that mean when a user first visits the website, Gatsby will load ALL the contents of ALL those blogs at the same time? Because it doesn't fetch data from the CDN after the initial load, because all the data from the entire blog website are all compiled together during build time, correct?
So the larger content of the website gets, the worse Gatsby will perform on initial visit, since the more data it will need to load, right?
