The sentiment on that page speaks to my soul. But I wonder how relevant it still is, just a few years later, in the age of AI tools?

Certainly replacing a microservices morass with a single bare metal server running a single static go binary makes good fiscally responsible sense for a startup/MVP. But how does a CTO make the case that "we don't need React" when the developer can just get Claude to smack the React app around with a trout until it does what you want?

Basecamp may have done it but I get the feeling that's a major outlier.

I do think more relevant than before, Claude has less trouble running a modulith with HTMX than keeping everything in sync. I still run into context window problems on company code bases. When the 1M windows is 50% full Claude degenerates for me visibly. When this is no longer an issue, I would agree that we no longer need to care.
