<p>I don't agree with the article's central premise. It assumes that tech stack choices should be driven solely by what the end user cares about.<p>In reality, selecting a tech stack is about more than the user side of things, it’s a strategic decision where factors like cost efficiency, the ease of hiring new developers, long-term maintainability, and the likelihood that the technology will still be relevant in five years are all critical.<p>These considerations directly impact how quickly and effectively a team can build and scale a product, even if the end user never sees the tech stack at work.</p>
