alt Hacker NewsThere is a certain category of developers (a category that multiplied in size many times over around the same time as the boom in coding bootcamps, take that for what you will) who believe that there's virtue in running the same code on the client and the server, despite them being totally different paradigms with different needs. This kind of thing is the predictable result.

to be fair to bootcamp developers, i don't think they ever did "believe that there's virtue" in the setup, they were just told this is what you use and how you use it.
It's just the latest take on what we had 20 years ago with .NET's WebForms and Java's JSF. Both of which tried to hide the network separation between client and server and were not fun to work with.
Those who don't learn history are bound to repeat it, and all that.
