PHP. Still works and the codebase is still being incrementally updated ~20 years in. Stint with Laravel, which was a huge task to add, and an even huger task to eventually remove; After an update by Laravel that was not backwards compatible made us rethink the cost/value. Javascript on the frontend, with no libraries as critical infra except for HTMX. Was once a contributor to Mootools; now use quite a bit of homegrown funcs, and use libraries for spot instances (Alpine, Uppy, QuillJS - all of which are written modular with intention to be traded out.) MySQL and eventually Postgres. "NoSQL" only when it was added (as JSONB) to Postgres. All of those years of coding are an asset, not a liability. Don't go chasing the new and shiny, it doesn't last. (And steer clear of Web3, will ya?) EDIT: We use Tailwind - and time will tell if that is a mistake.
