He was just unable to follow and understand the trend, and thinks that therefore the whole industry made a MISTAKE :D

It does feel like the tiring contrarianism type of heading as opposed to a particularly well thought out article.

In the same way I feel lesser able coders seem to dwell on shit-slinging against tech that is proven, works, and has solved innumerable problems when they bang on about how things were so much nicer with vanilla JS and how frameworks are lazy and slow or something, in order to cultivate a sense of superiority.

Any well made tech has it's place, skill and experience are about knowing which tech should be used where.

That's not true, though. If you read [his next blog post](https://gomakethings.com/how-to-make-mpas-that-are-as-fast-a...) you'll see he has lots of experience with architecting an advanced multi-page application which works and behaves much like an SPA.

It makes his anti-SPA post kind of redundant and a bit hypocritical, but he clearly knows roughly what he's doing.
