The whole "stack" thing is dumb as hell to begin with. Just because someone is using Linux, do they have to use Apache MySQL and PHP? Just because some is using Windows, do they have to use IIS, SQL Server and ASP? Where do Go, Rust, C++, serverless and containers fit into these handcuffs? Why can't someone run netcore on Linux? Why would someone use SQL for all their database problems?
Stacks are an incredibly bad idea and need to go away. If you organically end up with LAMP because those technologies were best-in-class for your problem, then great. Use the best tool for the job, else your solution is categorically enterprise.
"Stack" is merely an FOSS euphemism for enterprise behavior.
- rorykoehler 8y agoI agree in principle but in practice stacks end up "organically" being chosen as defaults regardless due to the benefits of having an active ecosystem. Tools that are technically better but not actively supported end up being sidelined by popular tools everyone knows plays nice with their chosen framework.

- pjc50 8y agoThe best tool for the job depends on which other tools you are using, synergistically.
