The fundamental issue is that it binds the server to the client, who must understand HTML structure. It also makes it more difficult to reuse the endpoints in different ways or for new applications.
Returning data and letting the client render it decreases coupling and increases flexibility/testability- you can run unit tests on the client for mock data, and run unit tests on the server to test the desire
The biggest reason people do that is that they don't pay enough attention to users.
For example, they have some theory in their heads about what they need to build. They don't go out there and talk to users and say "What do you want?" They just build this thing and then it turns out users don't want it. It happens time and time again.

This book is an assemblage of short papers running on themes as different as Bugs, Error Handling, Customers, Refactoring, and Expertise.
The motivation behind the short exposition isn't to address every one of your inquiries or be an authoritative manual for programming.

The intention is to build a second brain for knowledge workers. That will help knowledge workers save their best ideas, organize their learning, and expand their creative output.

Many a time, I get engulfed with the same feeling of meaninglessness.
That's why I asked this question.
Find it very hard to express this feeling to others, or to face others.
Finding a cofounder is like love: it often happens when you're not looking for it. The best thing you can do to improve your odds is continue to improve yourself and put yourself out there.
I'm planning to do this AskHN thread monthly.
Also, created a central repository (document) for storing all the info.
