We used “boring technology” (the stuff we happen to like) and our startup still failed.

  Startups fail for a number of reasons. Success depends on removing as many of those reasons as possible. One of those reasons is building on an esoteric tech stack that, while perhaps interesting to the developers, consumes time, energy and money better spent on things like customer acquisition and retention. However even if you eliminate that one reason, there are still many other reasons that will kill your startup.

    If you say so. I'm not really interested in startups, I just think people are kidding themselves about what is shiney stuff for addlebrained idiots and what is boring technology that serious people use to do serious business things.
