I Hate Client Side JS Crap
by
This article cites React and how bad it is, but really I dislike all client side JS stuff that renders the DOM with JavaScript. Angular…ugh digging out of an old app that no longer builds and was always slow. As I’ve replaced it with PHP and standard HTML we’ve seen reliability go up and speed
