- bluefirebrand 4y agoDon't worry too much about all of the options. Pick one stack and learn it. The concepts are all transferrable.

- owenmarshall 4y agoI've only recently come back to the world of web after doing mostly devops/backend stuff. While getting on the JS framework treadmill might get other people hired, staying server side + Bootstrap kept me sane and productive. The only place where I spent an innovation token[0] was on htmx and so far it's been absolutely worth it. [0]: https://boringtechnology.club https://boringtechnology.club
- profstasiak 4y agowhat backend do you use?
- owenmarshall 4y agoThat gave me the biggest thing to think about. I had the most web experience with Django but it's been years since I used it in anger. In the meantime I'd been using FastAPI and knew enough of its warts, so I went with FastAPI + Postgres. But if I was just starting out trying to learn a web stack like GP, I'd say absolutely don't pick FastAPI, use Django + Postgres + Bootstrap + htmx and you'll be happy.
- zkirill 4y agoDon't think about it too much. Most of the web still runs on plain old PHP and HTML. New technologies pop up every now and then but most people who do this professionally just want something that does the job and don't talk about "their stack" outside of work hours.
- yamtaddle 4y agoThey're all basically the same, some are just more or less bad and some have more or fewer very-helpful libraries available. It's all doing the same shit, mostly in very similar ways.
