If I had to pick one line to highlight (not to criticize, but was a wise lesson worth sharing) it would be this one:
"First, we need to fully understand our dependencies before putting them into production."

(Or fail to make the effort, not understanding the risks.) This is why developers without significant experience should not be making decisions about the tech stack.
