> Another common thing Architecture Astronauts like to do is invent some new architecture and claim it solves something. Java, XML, Soap, XmlRpc, Hailstorm, .NET, Jini, oh lord I can’t keep up. And that’s just in the last 12 months!

I wonder what Joel would've said if he could've (in 2001, when this article was written) seen a decade and a half into the future and looked at the "oh-lord-I-can't-keep-up-is-my-middle-name" web development frameworks of the past decade and counting. The dust is nowhere close to settling yet!


It's pretty settled on React and Gatsby in my opinion.
