Shallow because...?
I was making a point that the best tool for the job can sometimes be the one which is widely used, hugely supported, cheap to host, well understood - it may not be the trendy choice, but "trendy" is not (in my humble opinion) a terribly good criteria for tech stack decisions...
- pvg 3y agoIt's not an interesting point, especially if you intend it as a tangential flamewar hook and, as you say yourself, you post it repetitively. The submission is not about 'tech stack decisions', it's somebody showing something they made. You don't have to like it or have much to say about it but a completely generic 'just use something else' is well within the scope of the guideline and a bunch of other ones.
