Contrary view. Your success running a lifestyle software business is likely to be far more dependent on your marketing skills and efforts that what what tech stack you use.

- deadbabe 3y agoYea, but once you’ve solved that you’re at the mercy of the whims of your software engineer.
- mablopoule 3y agoTrue, but here lies thus the paradoxical thing about tools: a good tools is one that stays out of your way when you want to do something, while a bad tools is one that requires you to focus on itself instead of the underlying objective. Thus, a tool is the least important part of a project, while choosing the right tools might be one of the most important decision of a project.
- BenFranklin100 3y agoThe OP isn’t making a point about the software stack insomuch as they are making the point that your developer has you by the short hairs if the stack is too specific or if you have no idea how anything works. Use something that someone else will have a fighting chance to take over when the day comes that your developer gives you two weeks notice. And be sure to document everything.
- codeonline 3y agoSo wouldn't it follow that choosing a low effort stack translates to more time being available for the real task of marketing and business activities?
- hermitcrab 3y agoI was being a bit contrarian. Obviously choice of tech stack is important. But, in my experience, people obsess too much over that and sepnd way too little time thinking about marketing. Also, choose reliable 'devil you know' tech over the latest flashy framework.
