Ask HN: Are you still using a “legacy” stack to build new stuff?
By that I don't mean web-only. Desktop, web, mobile, embedded, systems, enterprise
- josefrichter 6y agoIf Rails + Postgres counts as legacy then yes, my usual MVP stack.
- wprapido 6y agoA kind of it counts. It's a mature yet fairly modern stack.
- waihtis 6y agoYes - fun story: End of last year I participated in an investor meeting where our tech stack was criticized for being "too legacy", when in fact (in the security industry) it's pretty damn critical to provide robustness and integrity over ${LATEST_SHINY_JS_FRAMEWORK}. It's probably good that relationship didn't end up working.
- wprapido 6y agoOh yeah the mania of chasing shiny new objects. It feels so familiar.
- jamesponddotco 6y agoDepends on what you call legacy, I guess. I still use dedicated servers, PHP, Bash, and good ol Perl. Heck, I even "downgraded" as far as the cool kids are concerned, and went from Ubuntu Server to openSUSE recently.
- wprapido 6y agoLargely reminiscent of my stack. Awesome
