This is my 4th or 5th go at attempting to bootstrap a product with a 9 to 5 (and now kids), the "stick to your framework" advice is very good. It's a lesson that I learned the hard way. Such a tendency to make excuses and say "well I am doing professional development as well" or "this is also a learning exercise" -- well maybe, but also, if you ever want an actual product to see the light of day, you eventually just need to live with the stack you chose and go for it. My goal now isn't to use the latest cutting edge stack, and keep it updated to be even more bleeding edge. My goal now is to have something that I can say is "legacy" and needs updates.
