For the avoidance of doubt, let me be crystal clear: the only reason I don't *usually* say that so-called modern frontend is a Ponzi scheme is that it's mostly private firms burning funny money. If you're doing something that *really matters*, put the JS *down*. HTML or bust.https://twitter.com/allafarce/status/1240848110252732416 …
FANG teams know limits *much* more than the folks buyimg JS-of-the-week. Search has N versions (where N is large) to maximize reach. GMail still maintains a static HTML version, because reach! Startups that buy this shit are dumb. Critical services that adopt it are *dangerous*

A startup testing some idea using React in a single market isn’t dangerous though.
