But this earlier spoof may well be based, intentionally or not, on the SOAP piece you linked -- which was a hit on HN 7 years ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2079631).
Thus prompting the observation and related question: These three areas - front-end, deployment, RPC - seem to have engendered a churn in standard approaches, and a corresponding cultish devotion to certain toolkits -- leaving them open for satire. But yet, there is also a need for a guru to explain WTF to do, because a lot of practitioners need to get these jobs done.
So, what is the deeper parallel between the areas? E.g., a lot of corporate resources suddenly poured into these problems, and everyone is funded to come up with, and promote, their own solution?
