> Underrated comment I think it's an overrated comment. Sometimes you just want a simple API that all of your clients talk to: your iOS client, your Android client, your Windows client, your TV client, and your browser client (Javascript) is just another client that consumes the same API, not a special-cased frankenclient that's half-rendered on the server. Or maybe all you have is a browser client and you still don't want it to be this frankenclient thing. And instead you want the separation of concerns instead of doing some UI things on the server and some UI things in the browser. A rule of thumb like "do as much as you can on the server" just sounds like cargo cult mysticism in place of putting on an engineer / product-designer hat and weighing the pros and cons. |
