I agree with this. However, for whatever reason, suggesting a monolith or (gasp!) not writing a spa for an app and using traditional ssr html seems to signal that you're antiquated and old fashioned. I've only been doing this for 3 years and it's ridiculous.
Yes this is the problem I am am facing just now (been doing this for 15 years). I care more about writing decent code than chasing trends, but it means my skillset looks stagnant.
