“Leistungsschutzrecht”. A German word that sounds exactly as horrible as its meaning: The result of clueless old economy publishers trying to protect their assets

The point is it shouldn’t have to render the same stuff because what’s rendered on the server is only rendered on the server

I could not possibly agree more
“Web making has lately become something of a dick measuring competition.”
Our addiction to complicated toolchains and overbuilt frameworks is out of control. Read “The Cult of the Complex” by Jeffrey @Zeldman (that’s me!) in today’s @alistapart.

Of course everything has its place: Mostly SSR with a little bit of JS for better UX; a mixture of SSR plus quite a heavy amount of JS for complex apps; pure JS/SPA e.g. for offline apps. I just get mad if people claim SPAs are the only reasonable, “modern” choice.

Also, I wouldn’t dream of attempting to write a web-based video editor using SSR only. I’d probably use an SPA approach. I fail to see how that makes SPAs a good choice for most other web apps, though.

I’m also a big fan of powerful client-side JS components, triggered by HTML that’s rendered on the server, using a fancy new approach called “progressive enhancement”.
On a completely unrelated note, I occasionally use a rhetorical device called irony.

Some folks seem to believe I object to any client-side JS in principle. I don’t. You might be on the wrong track if you find yourself having to do the same stuff on the server, though. SSR and CSR should complement each other, with SSR as the first and safer choice.
Here’s a mind-blowing idea: Instead of adding server-side rendering by getting your client-side framework to work on the server, too, first start with server-side rendering and make it really, really fast; then as a next step, maybe don’t do that client thing.

I’m not so sure it actually shows that attitude, but I’d agree to disagree if it did. I consider GDPR to be a good thing overall, too

I love it. “YOUR RIGHT TO BE DELETED” – “FINE FUCK OFF THEN WE DON’T CARE.”
The fact that it lead to writershq.co.uk/privacy-poli… alone makes the GDPR my most-beloved law ever.
