A better way to think about it: Who wants SPAs more, UI developers or their users?
If the demands of the developers out pace the demands of their users AND those demands primarily determine product design decisions the product is not all designed to benefit the user despite developers pleadings to the contrary. That is a very pronounced example of bias.
- CivBase 6y agoUsers just want pages to load fast. UI developers (presumably) just want to maximize user happiness. A SPA is just a way to front-load resources for a website so users don't have to re-load redundant resources for each new page. Whether that is actually worthwhile for the user depends largely on how many redundant resources a site has and how many pages a user is likely to request in a single session. SPAs are a situationally useful tech just like blockchain, machine learning, JS component frameworks, etc.
- austincheney 6y agoIt’s hard to know what users want if those wants are assumed, which serves to reinforce bias.
