>He seems a little fixated on calling everything he does "boring"
Isn't that the whole point of the post? To give an account on the "boring" tech (which is a notion older than him and his post, which has been covered a few times on HN over the years) he uses?
And he's right in describing what he does as boring, when compared to what is seen as "standard practice"/cool/sexy/cutting edge/modern stacks nowadays.
That's one or two RDBMS servers, a regular old-school web application server (Django). That would be very "boring" (that is: older, tried and true) tech bets in 2024.
>even when uh... using an IDE?
IDEs have not been "exciting new tech" since the era of Symbolics and early Smalltalk IDEs.
What he says is that he doesn't use some "latest cool" IDE/editor, but an standard IntelliJ offering, like millions of enterprise programmers.
