I would say that there are probably a lot of developers who would be very happy to work on a non-buzzword stack, but the problem is that as a developer, it's extremely hard to know if your tech stack is the result of directed efforts to keep it simple, or if it's the haphazard result of some guy setting it up ten years ago when these technologies were hot.
- collyw 8y agoI would be happy to work on a stack like that, but I can't deny that it seems somewhat career limiting long term.Especially as I am over 40 now. I will be seen as not keeping up to date. (I certainly think I design and build better software than most people having done a few years of maintenance programming recently, people just create over complex monstrosities for what should be simple apps)
