The article makes a lot of sense to me. My main gripe is with the choice of Django (which is a given, I understand that). Anno 2021 I'd never choose a lang+FW that does not bring strong types, and type safety over several system barriers. Like using Kotlin+jOOQ for the backend. Or use no backend at all and use Hasura with a generated client lib in Elm. Or Rust with Yew. I know these are not as much used as Django/Rails/Express/Spring+Hibernate, but I'm just not ready to walk into the no-type-safety swamp again out of my free will.
