I want to choose tech that has the least amount of maintenance. For example I had to build a web app thing for something I'm doing. The many frameworks available are of course trivial to string together but now I'm looking at a huge amount of dependencies all that require a lot of maintenance. I went with avoiding all but the the most critical libraries for authentication but is there a better way? I found even writing in OCaml and generating js into a docker file to be hosted by someone else who maintains node.js was actually less maintenance than me using any existing frameworks
- chadcmulligan 3y agoI prefer jQuery and jQueryUI - actually I go one further and use the devextreme components so I have paid support (outrageous I know) for spa's or something like umbraco for CMS but they are very unsexy and old. Delphi for cross platform applications, but try and sell that as a development platform :-D I think the big advantage of this sort of stuff is you have a million debugged and working examples to pick from and people who know them inside out. Edit: I watch the kids trying to figure out how to release things on docker with their multiple git branches and merges, and re-engineering their microservices frameworks, and each time I die a bit inside. This was all done so long ago, why continue to make it harder. Now I'm not talking something google scale, but something with a few hundred users and maybe 20 concurrent, why would you do this, sigh.

- em-bee 3y agoi found the key in reducing maintenance overhead is to avoid complex build tools that claim to manage your dependencies and use frameworks that don't frequently break compatibility.
