The author shares how working on Solid 1.9's web component support sparked a broader debate in the community. Key themes include: the 'future-proofing' myth around web components, legitimate enterprise use cases (large orgs with multiple teams and design systems), the parallels with micro-frontends, the tension between authoring vs consuming web components, and why web components are rarely the technically optimal choice even when they're a pragmatic organizational one. The author traces his own journey from being a web components advocate in 2018 to a more skeptical position today. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
