People building spas for everything when literally 99% of sites on the planet would function better as a static site is infuriating. I’ve had so many arguments with devs because they will make up any thing they can to justify using react or angular or vue or whatever, instead of building a fucking static site.

    One of my employeers had a multiple megabytes SPA with a shitload of dependencies (Angular) in production that was just a glorified upload form. All the heavy lifting and verification was done by the backend anyways and it was a pain to upgrade, especially with angular major updates etc.

    Since we replaced it with a vanilla HTML upload form and some templating to display feedback from the backend no more maintenance was necessary and the users and testers where still happy.
