I have to admit that my first thought upon reading the title was that this was some satirical piece about the way some people announce or describe their software. "Doohickey - CLI app written in C++, Boost, and the STL" "whatchamacallit - an admin module written in JS, React, React Saga, Storyboard, Redux, Express, nginx, Electron and markdown" "mugabe-rails - a library written in Ruby to parse JSON" "lasagne - a meal made using cow, spaghetti, and tomato" Instead, what I took away from it was something much more insightful and mature. He pretty much defined his most minimal MVP, committed to getting that working, and completely dispensed with the notion that he had to invest in the more fancy tech up front. He got a working solution for his problem and if needs be, it can be made fancier now it actually works for him.
