That was an excellent article. I was able to relate to so many of your experiences and your questions.
I watched fat client Client/Server architecture get thrown by the wayside in the late 90’s because people implemented applications that were ignorant of their distributed nature. They were replaced by web apps where the app server was either on the same machine or very close to the database server, allowing developers to remain ignorant of the issues of distribution. Still to this day there are so many business applications that are being deployed in Terminal Server environments because they were built with an architecture that assumed a very low network latency.
The issues that you bring up in your article need to be discussed far more often in the dev community.
