As with any field, the evolution of software architecture is evident in the shifting paradigms of computing over time. In the 90s and early 2000s, servers held sway, relegating clients to the status of ‘dumb terminals.’
With the dawn of the 2010s, smartphones and stronger client machines shifted computing to the client-side, thereby influencing the thought process of software craftsmanship.
