#062 - Declaring War Against the Frontend feat. Sam Selikoff
Backend Banter
Understanding Abstractions in Front-End and Back-End Frameworks
The chapter delves into the importance of understanding abstractions in front-end and back-end frameworks, discussing topics such as the significance of learning the layer below the tools used, resolving issues with leaky abstractions, differences between full stack frameworks and single page applications, and the shift towards server-side rendering. The speakers explore the challenges faced in bringing richer frontend experiences to mature backend-first frameworks like Ruby on Rails and Laravel and advocate for front-end frameworks to focus more on backend features. They emphasize the importance of maintaining a balance between cohesion and flexibility in development and pushing opinions down to a library level for better modularity.
