What if the "best practice" was invented by a VC funded company (like, just for example, Vercel) desperate to maintain their growth trajectory by any means necessary, including huge marketing pushes to convince everybody the "best practice" is the "best way to do things"?
It's downright dangerous to assume a "best practice" in software development somehow automatically means it's some super distilled wisdom juice. A whole lot of it, in my experience, is just hype and rapid, unquestioning cargo culting slamming in right behind the hype.
Use your fucking brain. If the "best practice" is objectively a good solution to your problem then use it. If not, think of something better.
