The quote you shared is utter non-sense. I have built SPAs running on devices so underpowered, you wouldn't believe. Single core, 512MB RAM, no GPU. And with a browser running on on top of all kinds of other crap.
Right tech for the job. Where "the job" could be anything.
Considering what modern browsers run on.
- pier25 4y agoThe context of that quote is mostly about dev complexity. I've built small SPAs that perform great on low powered mobile devices, but that's not typically happens in practice. Even on desktop, most SPAs are super bloated and slow.
- oblak 4y agoEh, but one could just as easily say "non-SPA" websites aren't all that great either, see? The real bloat is the 15 trackers and ad platforms, imho. I am not advocating for SPAs, btw. Personally, I mostly browse with JS disabled. Complexity takes many forms. The last thing many* complex back ends need is serving a plethora of clients instead of data. * See, I can do play that game, too. Coming up with "data" in support of my argument.
