can you epxlain this to the <100 iq
Guillermo Rauch is the ceo of vercel. In this tweet, he's effectively saying that the bulk of what his company was built upon (SPAs) is bullshit (zero interest rate phenomenon is a reference to when financial interest rates are very low/zero, as they've been for many years, all sorts of things will seem great and successful because you can borrow money for free. When rates go up, only actually viable projects will survive - as we're seeing in the startup world now).

i don't think there are major implications: the web development world is still very react/javascript/JSON-centric
there is no reason that they can't tweak their services to be more hypermedia friendly if and when this approach becomes more popular
netlify (which offers free hosting for https://htmx.org, so is a sponsor of the project) is very HTML/hypermedia friendly as far as I can tell, and I don't have enough experience w/ vercel to say much other than a vague sense that they are extremely react-oriented
no reason that can't change as the market changes though: hypermedia pushes the main value locus of applications back on the server side and so server-side companies should like that
Maybe stupid question, but what are the downstream implications for folks like Vercel/Netlify/etc. who bet the farm on complex server rendered JS pipelines?
