There’s no demand for “tech stacks” in small, medium, or large business. The demand is for solutions to business problems. Those solutions may involve software.

There’s no demand for “tech stacks” in small, medium, or large business. The demand is for solutions to business problems. Those solutions may involve software. The form the software takes — the “stack” — is largely irrelevant. The only time companies care about languages and tools and frameworks is when they have committed to those already and need people who can work effectively with what they have.
No business ever had the requirement “We need 10,000 lines of Javascript” (or Rust, or anything). I think you misunderstand the difference between solutions and tools.
“Small business” is not a market for software and services, either. That term describes everything from coffee shops and restaurants to dry cleaners to lawyers to nail salons.
- tmaly 5y agoI guess I am really trying to get an idea of what most solutions use. Are 50% of the businesses just using Excel/Google docs or are they doing lots of Zapier etc.
- gregjor 5y agoThat’s kind of like asking what most people eat for breakfast. Excel is certainly widely used. WordPress, Shopify, platforms like that give small business an easy way to get on the web. I work with small businesses and I’d say it’s a big mix of stuff. The important thing is learning and understanding business domains.
