Hate to break it to you, but servers and server-side rendering existed before React. Sounds like you're blaming good tools instead of bad developers.

- adamrt 7y agoHe's saying that there is client side rendering and now there needs to _also_ be server side rendering to compensate for its shortcomings.
- robertoandred 7y agoThere doesn't need to be server-side rendering to use React. There also doesn't need to be client-side rendering to use React. Besides, a combo of PHP backend codebase and a jQuery frontend codebase has many more shortcomings than a single React codebase.

- grumple 7y ago...what? He was bemoaning React making things far more difficult than they need to be. And I think that’s a fair assessment of the situation. There’s a minimum overhead to maintaining a modern js app that is far higher than maintaining say, a Rails frontend. And it’s more costly for every change.
- robertoandred 7y agoRails and React are in no way comparable. They solve entirely different problems.
