After so much time wasted with all of this, SPAs, microservices, microfraneworks, etc, I've ended up pretty burned out of the amount of work it takes, and the incredible number of corner cases I've found. From development environment issues to how to have a staging or testing environment to how to do authentication. Do many things you get for free with more traditional approaches.

Last year we started at work a project with plain old Rails. This year we started using stimulus and turbo. You cannot believe how much our lives have improved. Things are so easy and feel so solid. Everything has documentation, things don't change every other day. Patterns are clear, libraries well tested, we focus 99.9% on actual business problems.

Two members of the team left because they wanted to react node monorepos all the things. It's. South they left, but overall we are so much happier and more productive now, even with two members less (team of 6).

I really wish the pendulum swings back, as they say, and we stop this madness. At least for the 95% use cases that don't need to be an SPA with a Go backend for google scale.
