"Programming languages, tech stacks, and other areas of engineer preference largely don’t matter. Let engineers pick what they want. Remember that the good solutions are often free and have stupid sounding names." This is a dangerous statement. Some tech stacks are way more complex (and therefore more expensive) than others. You need to choose wisely what you use, because whatever you put in production will stay with you for at least 5 years (thumb rule...) and rewriting is a pain.
