I was working in ASP.NET when projects like Backbone.js, Knockout, and Angular started to pop up. They were trying to address issues on mainstream tech at that moment (compilation times vs. hot reload, avoid full-page reloads). There was a lot of criticism around the use of JavaScript in the server back then.

Now I see the opposite. Web standards can solve the full reload page problem, so it's time to rethink if we still need to manage state in the client, with all the complexity that this involves.

The biggest issue for me it’s the division between backend and Frontend roles. I like to do both, but lately I’m doing backend. It changes a lot how we do things, refinements are mostly to create contracts between the Frontend and backend tasks, we’re they should focus on business use cases.
