Hype vs. Fit
New frameworks get attention because they're new. But client projects need to ship, scale, and be maintainable for years. Our default is to choose boring, proven technology unless there's a clear reason to do otherwise.
What We Optimize For
- Ecosystem maturity: Can we find libraries, docs, and solutions for common problems?
- Developer availability: Can the client hire people who already know this stack?
- Long-term maintainability: Will this still be supportable in 5 years?
Key Takeaway
Tech stack is a product decision. Choose for ecosystem, talent, and long-term maintainability first.
