Contra Ptacek's Terrible Article On AI — Ludicity

https://unplannedobsolescence.com/blog/the-server-doesnt-render/

Good article that explains that server side rendering does not exist.

If you love React and love using it—by all means. Just don’t mistake the complexity of React Server Components for complexity that is inherent to the web platform.

https://lea.verou.me/blog/2025/hovercar/
