He would undoubtably respond with, "What about cryptocurrencies?".
To which I would of course reply that they are not money ;)
1. Store of Value 2. Unit of Account 3. Medium of Exchange
Of which it's fair to say that several crypto currencies fit that bill.

The best thing is those fucking sites where after the page seems to be completely loaded suddenly new components or even worse: ads pop in, and you accidentally click on those instead of what you intended to click on.
Sounds like it’s by design. Payouts for clicks is way higher than impressions. Sneaky sneaky. Or, malicious payloads await on the other side. My favorite is when a full react site loads up, doesn’t have error boundaries, hits some unimportant js exception, and the entire page that was fully rendered and ready to go just pops out of existence and you are looking at a white page. That doesn’t seem like forward progress…
People like to talk badly about w3schools but at least it manages the bear minimum of actually being able to render and display the information I’m looking for.
Not really sure why this person is quoting the weird old vampire just to talk about something as banal as server side rendering.

I’ve rolled my own mvc framework before, In php even! This was years ago when CakePHP was the new hotness and Laravel didn’t exist. Take it from someone who had your mentality and set off to make a tiny and no bs mvc that just gets the job done, the amount of work these frameworks are doing for you (backend frameworks) that you don’t consider, is why you should run a framework. You don’t want to deal with processing…
You don’t want to deal with ... Well, I do all that and it works just fine for me. All my projects are 100% my own code down to the core. No frameworks, nothing. There might be some traces of jquery in there from when browsers were more unreliable. I don't even use that these days. To get to know those frameworks, I built some projects with Symfony, Laravel, Django and some others. But it didn't stick. They are too a…
Huge difference between working fine, and working right. The security implications of rolling your own, is why I say “you don’t want to…”
Also, none of that code has anything to do with the product you’re actually trying to build. Imo it’s additional maintaining, tech debt, attack surface, and it’s a solved problem by a large community and has more knowledge from the security community baked in, and more eyes finding and plugging holes.

To which I would reply that money is defined by three properties: 1. Store of Value 2. Unit of Account 3. Medium of Exchange Of which it's fair to say that several crypto currencies fit that bill.
I honestly wonder if everything that is a best practice on the backend and frontend these days is a net negative compared to "Write your own PHP or Python code which outputs your own HTML+CSS+JS". Especially for indiemakers and startups by technical founders. All the frameworks add so much complexity and confusion. And I have seen several startups fail because when the developer was confronted with breaking changes o…
And that iteration speed is key for chasing down product market fit, which is way more dangerous to a company than suboptimal tech.
> What important truth do very few people agree with you on? Seems like answering with SSR would fail a Thiel interview for two reasons: 1. It's not important (in the grand scheme of things) 2. It's not a view that very few people hold. SSR was the standard way to do things for a couple of decades up until frameworks like React, and React itself now implements SSR, doesn't it? Thiel uses this question to try and dete…
Lot of bashing of this idea, not sure why. The entire industry has shifted from "web developer" to frontend/backend developers. What used to be a web developer is now called full stack. It seems like a big deal to me and the entire shift is an indicator of how much the IT community is behind front end clients talking to a separate back end. Server side rendering is no longer considered normal. Server site rendering n…
And maybe server side rendering is just the right answer for websites which are not the two you mentioned.
