I get it, but at the same time, there's not really anything new in computer science for the run of the mill enterprise developer. We're paying massive, massive complexity penalties to get a little bit of gain in productivity in only a few areas. React is a great example. High complexity to the same thing we used to do in SSR but in the browser just to find out we probably want to keep doing SSR in most cases. Was the 10 year battle we've been fighting on front end toolchain worth it? Depends on whether you fought it or you just inherited the results. If you fought it, you were dumb.
