#2I swear people must get so lost in the development of some sites that they don't realise how bad they are. Pathetic load times, unnecessary page animations, confusing UIs, hijacking scrolling.

#3I 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.

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.

#6Isn'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.

Do you mean something similar to Svelte becoming dominant?

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?

It’s a strongly held opinion that you think most people would disagree with you on. A contrarian belief, not just an opinion.

Even better would be to use normal words rather than expecting people to know what "thiel truth" means.
