Agree heavily with the article. As an app developer, I actively spend my time walking away from frameworks/languages/libraries that start mashing the server weirdly into client code. Each to their own but I think quasi-RPC implementations are a relic of the past.

Treating the network layer as an explicit abstraction to components just feels a better developer experience in the long run. The data abstractions are easier to reason about, and caching albeit always hard, is a lot easier to think about.

I don't even know _why_ React/Next is pushing Server Components. (Part of me wants to join the conspiratorial bandwagon like the author)

I don't get it either.

Doesn't a backend API and frontend web/mobile clients just make so much sense?
