You’ve just dismissed the entire article and it’s details by adding nothing useful to discussion. By your logic, let’s all dismiss HN - the best knowledge is what you already have.
- ssijak 6y agoI did not dismiss the article, I've read it. I just replied to the pretty strong statement that his choice is a "go-to" stack for building SaaS.
- systemvoltage 6y agoI’m sure you have. I think we want to discuss the details or something to bite on than a knee jerk reaction. I kind of agree with you - build with whatever tools you have. But, we also want to be curious and open minded of other tools that exist. Sorry for my harsh reply.
- lukevp 6y agoI think you misunderstood the intent. Constantly optimizing your toolset instead of building a startup with what you already know is a very common form of bike shedding and is one of the hardest things for some developer-founders to get past.
- ms4720 6y agoThe goal of a startup is to build things quickly, so actually being able to build things quickly is important. If you know a set of tools well you can work quicker than using a perhaps better set of tools that you do not know well. That is an important point to make to people like me who like playing with new toys
- ramraj07 6y agoI build things quite fast with flask and bootstrap, perhaps now with fastapi. If I have spare time I'd rather spend the time validating ideas or tech in new domains rather than learning more new tech that's just similar to this.
- chiefalchemist 6y agoI don't see it that way. After multiple comments in one direction it was healthy to have someone say, "Wait a minute. Let's not forgot why we're here and what we're here to do."
