well, the tragedy now compared to 2001 when Joel wrote this, is the architecture astronauts are no longer limited to big corps. with vc money, early stage startups got money to boot. I don't know how many early stage startups, I have encountered barely out of a seed stage with microservice this, serveless this, all running of course on k8's for unlimited scaling. if frontend was madness then current trends in backend dev are madness ^2. I have completely switched off now from node.js work to on saner boring things.
