Passend dazu: wenn ein FOSS-Projekt wirklich mal gut läuft … wird es abgeschaltet. Es ist zum Haare raufen. Das war das Team was dann angefangen hat in FOSS-Weiterentwicklung zu investieren ... heise.de/news/Baden-Wuerttem…

"What are the non-functional requirements for the system?"
"We don't have any."
"Sorry?"
"We want the system to function."
"Oh, I see... in software we often use 'non-functional' to mean something else."
"In English we use non-functional to mean non-functional."

Apple planned ahead and bought the #2 wireless headphone company just as they were about to kill the wired headphone market by removing the headphone jack. They now make more money from head phones than Twitter & Spotify make in total combined.

Meanwhile it turns out apps were a dead end. As a business and as a user experience.

We succumbed to app envy rather than embrace the web’s transformative nature. And lost the opportunity to reinvent what user experiences might be.

This is key. The "SPAs can save data and improve interaction" argument is now falsifiable across a whole swath of verticals and app types.
It's natural domain is, by inspection, shockingly limited compared to its popularity.
The arguments you are making in favour of SPAs here sound great on paper - and logically they really ought to hold up - but a decade into everyone building SPAs-by-default I'm just not seeing them prove out in practice

If you need any confirmation that you’ve just made a totally shitty move, Scott Adams applauding you for it is a great indicator
In one of the greatest management moves of all time, Basecamp's CEO persuaded all of his most grindingly annoying employees to resign at once. .nytimes.com/2021/04/30/techn…

I actually always liked and respected him, and I guess I still do, even though he handled this one extremely badly and in a completely tone-deaf way. What a miscalculation.

Not sure things will work out that way that easily. I think they’ve hurt themselves way more than they ever expected
