I'm not a javascript person so I was trying to understand this. if i get it right this is basically a way to avoid writing backend APIs and manually calling them with fetch or axios as someone traditionally would do. The closest comparison my basic java backend brain can make is dynamically generating APIs at runtime using reflection, which is something I would never do... I'm lazy but not dumb

There is a certain category of developers (a category that multiplied in size many times over around the same time as the boom in coding bootcamps, take that for what you will) who believe that there's virtue in running the same code on the client and the server, despite them being totally different paradigms with different needs. This kind of thing is the predictable result.

to be fair to bootcamp developers, i don't think they ever did "believe that there's virtue" in the setup, they were just told this is what you use and how you use it.
