A Progressive Complexity Manifesto
August 20, 2025
THE GREAT DECEPTION: STATIC VS. SPA
The industry sold us a lie. They said our choices were:
Static HTML: “Dead” pages with no interaction
Full SPA: “Modern” apps with endless complexity
This is a false binary that limits our options.
Between these extremes lies a vast continent of possibility that’s been overlooked. Interactive, dynamic, server-rendered applications that ship fast, perform well, and stay maintainable. This isn’t the distant past; this is the future we can build today.
Not much to add to this except I recommend you go and read it.
