Funny enough. I’m opening this on mobile internet connection and it stuck at loading spinner. I don’t know if the problem is with my internet (probably not) or support for mobile so I can’t even read the content.

I think that's the joke :) all other articles load fine instantly, just this one that has a spinner

Sufficiently advanced parody is indistinguishable from reality.

Ages ago when writing.com was first modernizing its site, they started by hiding story content to display a spinner, waiting a second or two, then re-displaying the content. It was on the page the whole time, they just made it look like it was loading in the background.

All I got is a "loading" animation. Gave up after 10 seconds. So, not a counterargument, but a confirmation of the article's thesis.

It's a joke/sarcasm

I wish I hadn't read the replies. I love being made the fool (though not to worry, I'll have plenty of other opportunities, likely today!)

I have to say that I hate SPAs. It is often a far worse user experience than the vanilla multi-page websites.

Like most defenses of Single Page Applications it managed to make me angry, at least at first.
