Response to Shop Talk Episode 147: Tom Dale

Do you agree with Tom?

Tom argues that the role of the client and server are quite separate and thus necessitate their own applications. He states that by building an API and then a separate application that handles the views, it makes it easier to develop for mobile, improves performance, and makes code more maintainable.

What parts of his argument are compelling?

I like the idea that we aren't fully harnessing the potential of the client computer. I also like the idea of spearating concerns.

What parts do you disagree with?

I don't really disagree with anything, but there were two points that surprised me. First, he was pretty down on Angular. As a Google fan, that surprised me. Second, learning about his path from Genius Bar to developer was interesting. It seems like he saw it as pretty serendipitious.
