There seems to be a sizable portion of this, and far from limited to the web world.
That said, some of it may also come from the managerial level. This thanks to cargo culting akin to the offshoring fever a decade or two back.
meaning that management is pushing for something to be done in a certain way because they read about some big name corp doing the same, and wanting the company to appear "aggressive" to investors...
- TeMPOraL 9y agoI'd say it's half fashion and half business incentives. JS frameworks are fashionable, every kid learns JS and Node now, and this leads to what I see as a big part of programmer population suffering from acute "only-got-hammer-everything-is-nails" syndrome. But business incentives play a big part too. It's easier to make a shitty SPA than a well-engineered site, but all the shittiness gets externalized on the users, so companies don't care - they get to be little quicker to market, but they don't have to pay for the worldwide waste of electricity and bandwidth they cause. (Not to mention user frustration. Mainstream webdev doesn't give a damn about that either.)
