I think the next major change will be unified hybrid rendering. Render the initial view via SSR for speed, framework automatically injects more and more of the page transparently as user-driven events happen. All of this will be transparent and you only write the app once.

#12> users would prefer your app as a website
I hope by app you mean "webapp", because I sure don't want all my apps becoming websites. That's how Electron becomes more prevalent.
Also, great to see a shout-out to D :)

#13First I’ve heard of this interview question but if anyone is wondering here is a guaranteed way to fail a job interview with Thiel by answering the question thusly:
Money has never existed without taxation

#14Not really sure why this person is quoting the weird old vampire just to talk about something as banal as server side rendering.

So, I was trying to do this literally a decade ago (as in, I remember it being 2013 when I started trying to make an angularjs site work this way). I haven't been doing front-end or "full stack" for awhile, so I'm a bit out of the loop. Why has this seemingly failed to progress in the last decade?
Most of the more modern Javascript SSR frameworks support hybrid in some capacity (Remix, Next, Svelte). I can't speak for Angular as I've never used it.

#16More honest, or less clickbaity would be: "is my thiel truth"
Even better would be to use normal words rather than expecting people to know what "thiel truth" means.
I have trouble distinguishing the difference between Thiel Truths and Bathory Truths so this would be helpful for me.

#17Isn't "Thiel Truth" just a euphemism for a strongly-held opinion? Not sure why this banal concept has to be attributed to some venture capitalist. Seems like clickbait. That aside, just use whatever fits best for the task at hand. If server-side rendering works better for you, use that. If client-side rendering is preferable, do that instead. Or a mix of the two. No need to be dogmatic about it.
It’s a strongly held opinion that you think most people would disagree with you on. A contrarian belief, not just an opinion.

That's what frameworks like NextJS do.

This is already here and in use. See Next.js using React.js for example. Server-side rendering out of the box and small next needed pieces are loaded continuously when they are needed.
