The arrogance and ignorance of this post is massive. There is nothing wrong with rails or django or symfony or any other server side rendered web framework, whether it's 2012 or 2019. The author seems to think that somehow react SPAs are the only modern apps. The case against SPAs is still huge and for most use cases, they are the wrong tool for the job. This type of cargo cult, fashionable trend thinking undermines his entire argument and questions his qualifications as an engineer. There's no logical explanation for not using rails or something like it. He's complaining about a problem with literally dozens of proven solutions, including rails, that he's even aware of, and yet refuses. What ever happened to use the best tool for the job rather than what's fashionable and popular in 2019? I would not want such an engineer anywhere near my company, that's for sure. I can't think of a worse trait than knowing the right solution to a problem and deciding to use something else just because "everyone else is doing it." Absolutely bonkers.
