Choosing your Tech Stack

The tech pool is an ever-growing trojan horse. JavaScript libraries are getting out of hand: we seem to be getting a new one every 6 months. Even I have a javascript library of my own. Trying to pick from this pool can easily turn into mission impossible: understandably so: there are just too many of them. 

The thing is, each of these libraries and frameworks end up doing essentially the same thing in their respective categories: react creates reusable javascript components: same with vue, same with angular, and svelte. And for the most part, you won't be using every single feature provided by these libraries: just the ones that suit your project.

When it comes down to it, the tech stack you choose doesn't mean much: you can get 10 different options that achieve the same goal. All that matters is the developer you pick: because a masterful developer can create great products using any stack of his/her choosing. If you're just starting off, perhaps the best step is to evaluate the stacks and get a recommendation from an expert in the field: you may be surprised to find out you don't need as many technologies as you think: you may even be surprised that using a traditional framework like ruby on rails is actually a lot easier than WordPress.
