Whether or not folks apply good practices is very much up in the air, & honestly, we have a lot to learn & relearn. Eventually I think we'll see more integrative front-end & end-to-end architectures that steer better towards success, that bake in more smart choices. Ideally atop more sensible & aware data-store systems/caches.

Somewhat different outlook on the web myself, but in general we're still speaking the same language here & I appreciate & support this post.
