I think the market was still skeptical about nodejs on the server at the time but other than that I don’t really know why it didn’t take off

Is this the instant search that you are advertising on your website?

There is no free lunch. At some point you have to pay people for their work. Not paying is slavery. Either pay with your attention span or pay with money to get an adless experience.

The Premium plan gives you more features (and a music streaming that would cost you 10$ in and of itself if you were to use another music streaming service).

I am glad Youtube takes this issue seriously.

I'm just starting to recover from my previous work. I had to maintain migrate and add features to a legacy system (built in 2017) which had initially a GraphQL api and a SPA, but that was later split in 12 microservices (with cycling dependencies because hey why not) and 3 Big react applications, all of that in Javascript + Typescript (added later with all the gradual typing stuff that makes you think that your code is correct).

All of that to serve 300 monthly users between 35 and 50 years old, who just cared about filling forms here and then and have some charts over data. 0 rocket science.

So far I remember history going like this: - 2010 Clean SSR with rock solid boring technologies and some vanilla JS where it made sense, I remember page load where crazy fast and you could not feel the need for an SPA. - 2012 NodeJS arrives. It came to save us from slow blocking IO apparently (??) - 2016 React arrives. It came to save us from boring old SSR apps - 2017 All React + SPA frameworks (in house often) - 2017+ Someone has the brillant idea to do SSR with React. "It's a revolution" - 2017 GraphQL arrives. You are saved. - 2020 Nextjs arrives. You can now do static generation for SEO and SSR and apis ! That's great. Thank you Next ! - 2022 Someone wants now to do Server Component that will make your page load going insanely fast (which we already did in 2010 when we carefully loaded vanilla JS at the time)

I learned a bit of ASP.net core recently, and I think that boring razor pages are still relevant.

I remember my first lead in 2010 telling me that ORMs and SPA where completely overrated. I didn't agree with him at that time. Now 12 years later I think he might have been correct.

I'm not saying SPA have not their place. Some apps can't do without it. I'm saying that we are victims of "hype driven development" which involve having some trendy hashtags in your resume and convince your manager that you have seen an incredible new tech that will make the business incredibly wealthy. Except it does not and you end up with a legacy system that nobody wants to maintain because too complex.

Maybe like Jonathan Blow stated in one of his videos, we make a confusion between going forward and progress. Now all the new kids learn React in some boot camp or online but have no idea how to implement a map function. And I feel old and grumpy. And tired by all this.

They buy bitcoin to destroy the central banks, the states. The corrupted ones. They are on a crusade and at the top of this very new world : them. One day they will dominate the society. We poor ant-sheeps will continue to struggle while they golden eagles will have almost unlimited satoshis in their wallet that they will have earned so hard by pressing some buttons on a web app.

So yeah I somehow like to see their dreams taste a dose of reality. Bitcoin is a shitcoin too despite them chanting otherwise. And don't get me started on NFTs or other cryptos...
