It reads like this article's unstated premise is that it's about what you should do in situations where you aren't in control, are being paid to do the things, and working with other people in the same situation. But why write articles about what we're forced to do for money? That situation is always borked and we wouldn't be there unless we were being paid. Who wants to think about and do work during non-work free time? Yuck.
Lets see some articles about what human people, not people hired to do corporate person's bidding, should do. In this context the case for SPA is even more diffuse. In fact, all the arguments about synching frontend and backend don't even makes sense: that kind of thing is cargo culting.
Human persons when operating of their own free will working on their own projects should definitely not start with SPAs. They shouldn't even start with javascript dependent frameworks. Just put an HTML file in a directory.
- simonhamp 3y agoI'm a freelance consultant and a human person. I advise companies, especially early-stage startups, on this stuff. I'm writing about what I see, which is hundreds of hours being wasted on triaging bugs, meetings trying to align small teams, and decision-makers simply following trends.
- superkuh 3y agoI get that, you write what you know. But you're literally saying it's a thing you do because you want money to live. It's not something you're chosing to do as a human person. We're all technically human (except the corporate persons) but if you're doing something for money for companies then you're operating with those motives and preferences in mind; motives and preferences that apply to corporate persons, not human persons. I know thinking in terms of those corporate needs is the default on HN, but it doesn't have to be, and shouldn't be. We're all human people too.
