> The very notion of "back-end" is a fallacy: it implies that one can produce a useful, working system, without ever having to talk to end-users.

This is a small part of the rant, but he is fundamentally mistaken about what backends are. The real life equivalents are not bridges, but kitchens or back-offices: a place where you make the sausage so that the customer can have a delightful experience without the gory business part in sight.

It’s not disconnected from end-users, quite he opposite, as it’s suppose to realize the core value of the product.

I don’t agree with a lot of other parts of the rant either, but the global message of “react needs to evolve in a different direction” is I think interesting.
