A direct quote from my "expert-junior-evangelical" phase. When I marveled at my own cleverness & marketed my brand-new paradigms to my unfortunate peers. Lots of assertions, few citations, no research. All the fun was in coding, not in studying books or even the industry at large. Then, business requirements changed and I was left to maintain over-engineered monolith of my own making.

After a few cycles of hubris, I learned the danger of selling fads as evolutions. It hollows you out.

> not in studying books or even the industry at large

In fairness the author spends most of the article explaining the approach of the industry at large (it's a good explanation too).

[hitekker]

It appears like a good explanation. But other commenters have pointed out how it lacks precision. Name dropping CSS modules, React query and other technologies is marketing, not research.

By comparison, this article properly analyzes an actual industry trend, not generalizing one developers experience: https://martinfowler.com/articles/micro-frontends.html

I’m not a believer in micro-frontends but the quality and intent Marin fowler’s of writing is actually respectable.

Sorry, didn't want to be picky, but the article you mentioned is not written by MarTin Fowler. And I also didn't find there many "citations" you were looking for in my article.

I'm sorry that you found my article of a little quality.

I did my best trying to analyze different approaches to Data Management, How we came to those and their problems. I illustrated those with the my own diagrams to help readers better understand the concepts.

The article is based on my 10+ years experience in the industry.

It went through many iterations of reviews and corrections.

There nothing unique in the approach I described. It builds on what libraries like ReactQuery allows to do.

I basically just tried to formalise why I see this approach as the next logical step in how we approach building UI apps.

I'm not a native English speaker and not a professional blogger. Most probably there are ways to write such an article better. I do my best learning how write better.

Having said that, I think you are not fair comparing it with your "expert-junior-evangelical" phase.
