Tech discussions are hard to have nowadays because people are highly biased in favor of their current tech stacks. The religiousness which used to be restricted to programming languages has expanded to include frameworks, databases, test runners, infrastructure, CI tooling, libraries; literally everything is a religion nowadays. It makes almost all technical arguments disingenuous and pointless. Like people arguing about whose religion is more correct. Observable facts don't matter so much. People see arguments in favor of some alternative stacks as a personal attack against their career. It's probably because companies themselves have become so focused on hiring based on these stacks. They have become a matter of livelihood. In the old days, many companies saw software engineering ability as a separate skill; now they barely even use the word 'software engineering.'
