I agree those things are simple and easy for us. But are those things as intuitive for a junior developer? Also those things are decisions from past knowledge. Ask @Emily, decisions are hard.
If my friend, who has come right out of school, were to ask me the same question. I would tell him to use regular requests unless he needs to push real-time data to the client or he gets a better grasp on the Vue.js data situation.
My friend who has been in banking for years and is learning web development, I would tell them to use as little JavaScript as possible or let me create the backend.
From what I could see, this wasn’t @Emily’s only problem nor was it a problem that really should be stressed over. In any, I would never recommend learning WebSockets over AJAX requests.
