People in the comments talk all about their favorite pet tech stacks with only a single purpose: how long it takes them to write code. In front end logic that typically means putting text on screen or interactions. Years ago I decided to not worry about those concerns and it turns out those concerns are irrelevant. Writing content, really all front end logic, is as fast as you can type on a keyboard irrespective of your tech stack. Just about everything else is over engineered insanity. That was even true back in the IE7/8 days. It became apparent to me the only thing that mattered is time to refactor. The larger the application is the more true that becomes. The things that help with that the most are type annotations on everything, high execution performance, and fast test automation. Everything else became a distraction or noise that got in the way. The application does what it promises or its defective. It can be modified quickly or good ideas are abandoned for risks or costs. So I don’t worry about tech stacks and spend too much energy on execution speed.
