Looks like we've come full circle? First server side rendering, then client side, now server side again?

<jokes>Time to go bear on “client side” shares and bull on “server side” shares. Quick, grab as much PHP as you can get!</jokes>

All joking aside, I would argue the client side vs server side is a false dichotomy. The web has been doing a hybrid of both for a very long time now. Each have their pros and cons and there hasn’t been anything stopping engineers from using a mix of both, where it makes sense.

Now about those cargo cult marketers...

You can do server-side rendering with react. I'm pretty sure ppl started doing so at least 5 years ago

Server side again was already in vogue back in 2016ish. What we need to do now is go back to client side
