- ardit33 4y agoI totally understand. They are just discovering the basics, and slapping fancy names to it.
- giancarlostoro 4y agoServer Side Rendering annoyed me the most because I kind of like the idea of components for front-end code, but I don't want to host yet another thing when I could of at that point used a server side template engine for my back-end web framework.
- noufalibrahim 4y agoThat's the operational problem. However, I'm more amused at how similar this is to fashions clothes fashions. Those usually change often for frivolous reasons or plain boredom. This feels quite similar.
- aaaaaaaaata 4y agoIt only appears this way because you are not aware of the nature of the cycles, and what causes them.
- giancarlostoro 4y agoI assume it's various things. I think for me at least React and other SPA frameworks fixed a different problem I think most could agree with: reusable web components. I don't think anything like that existed before on the front-end, and by making it a front-end specific solution, it is fluid enough to transcend back-end languages, but then it became bloated. I love back-end work and I prefer front-end code to be as vanilla as can be. If I want a UI I pull in Bootstrap or some CSS framework because I'm not a designer.
