The same can be said of a React frontend that talks to a JSON API. There is some structure, organization, and convention to the API endpoints, one-way data flow, and so on. Otherwise it’s chaos.
On our most recent project we do the same with Django and HTMX. Organized endpoints by component. Composable, reusable server-side components with django-components [1]. And we’ve been orders of magnitude more productive, shipping more in 1-2 months than we did the previous 12-18 months working with React.
