Websites built with JavaScript frameworks need SSR because of SEO. Applications don't, so most are SPAs, because they can be. The fully decoupled SPA is a special architecture. Complexity isn't just lessened, a lot of it vanish

I had a bedbug problem in a place I rented. The landlord used heat, and it seemed to work. I also just used common sense and got a mattress liner and used Permethrin around the perimeter of my room, and it cleared up.

So he's cheap. I actually ICANN Lookup'ed his domain and it's registered with NAMECHEAP, so like, he even buys services that have cheap in the name.

Practical CRUD app architectures still exist like always. You just wouldn't know it anymore from social media. The engineers who understand it got exhausted of explaining the obvious over and over again. Just let the beguiled play w

You either die a JavaScript fanboy, or you webdev long enough to see yourself walk away from the unending parade of needlessness.

At about the 20 minute mark, they show the Foucault testing of the mirror, and actually put a camera at the test focus, so you can see a Foucaugram of the mirror. It's of poor quality, but still. You see the donut. To anyone who was

SSR is a hack, not an architecture.

Millions of JavaScript monoglot voices suddenly cried out in terror. Unfortunately, they won't be suddenly silenced.

I can't believe how much of a nuisance JavaScript monoglots make themselves. My God, go learn a server-side language, please. I will teach you if you stop this.

These JS/TS full-stack frameworks need to be banned right along with fruit-flavored vapes. Think of the children.

If you take the credo of don't reinvent the wheel to a fanatical extreme, your best practice devolves into a ritualistic appeasing of the wheel gods to bestow wheels upon you.

Reverse gate keeping, yeah. You built a fence around your safe zone, and locked yourself in.

If you polled all the engineers that work on actually designing and building browsers, I bet they would all say "Of course Wasm containers sounds way better than JavaScript containers. What are you, a pathetic frontend noob? Oh, wait

Have you noticed how much content in social media has become either hating those who deserve it, or hyper sentimentality? It’s like manic lizard brain theater.

Shh! Us Angular devs are working in obscurity on purpose. Have you seen the misinformation and library bloat that comes with popularity? Nothing to see here, go back to your React, kids.

There's a whole new kind of fishing lure called a swimbait, of which there is a sub-type that's just a jointed fish shape. You cast it out, and reel it in, and it waves like a flag, looking exactly like a swimming fish. The only

If the online programmer community's collective ingenuity is insufficient to simply make what it wants, then perhaps it doesn't deserve it.

I think the misunderstanding is, beyond special cases like a payment processing, why would you be calling third party services from your service? When I think of calling a 3rd party HTTP API, I am thinking of public APIs, like say a widget
25.
by DrFell 5y ago
Yes, I think the normal way to integrate an app with an HTTP API is via the browser. Calling an external API from a backend that integrates directly with an client app has been rare for me. Payment processing is all that comes to mind, and

Intercommunicating backend services isn't new, but having an HTTP API call another one from the backend is a case that used to be more normally accomplished by calling both APIs from the frontend. The slow ooze of browser-oriented thi

The entire point of an API is decoupling. A decoupled API makes double sense for a SPA. It's the client-server architecture on a silver platter. This idea got muddled when people started making websites as SPAs, which necessitated SS

A lot of webdev is just pre-built stuff. When webdevs say "don't reinvent the wheel" it means "I'm too scared of doing it wrong to program it myself."

Oh, Proceedings of SPIE. I wasted more time in college rifling through those glorious yellow tomes in the solace of the engineering library than I did getting drunk.
