What? The question is fine, but not at all for that reason. This question allows you to figure out whether you can provide immediate value, whether it'll present a challenge you wish to embrace, or whether it'll present a challenge you wish not to embrace. It'll also tell you whether you think their stack was chosen based on whether it helps address the problems at hand or based on whether it's the "new hotness" or, as this write-up puts it, "up-to-date"
The obvious corollary would be to ask why that stack was chosen for the products and services the firm offers or for those which you'll be working on.

Up-to-date here is entirely your definition :) It could be that final bit was meant literally: If your definition of "up to date" is "patched to the latest security levels throughout the stack" - then that's what your questions should drive towards. If you care about experiencing the latest toys, then your questions should get you that information instead. So if it was intended literally (smiley-face instead of winking one...?) , he has a good point.
- wheresvic1 10y agoYes it was definitely meant literally!
