<i>What matters in the end is not the technology we use though. It’s how we can resolve our customer’s problems and evolve as those problems evolve too.</i><p>Thank you for saying that and posting this article. I've recently started a company in the past few months that is already enjoying good MRR. I didn't use the latest and greatest Node, GraphQL, Falcor, Reacted, Ember, Anularagar 2.5, ES2045, ES7, Phoenix, Double Scale SPA CLR NOSQL. I used the freaking vanilla Rails stack.<p>I'm enjoying 100ms or less response times on a $40 a month digital ocean box. I am using Turbolinks 3 partial replacement though. In the end the customer doesn't give a shit. They just want it to get their job done and for the app to not be slow.<p>What mattered was I was able to get the app done quickly instead of spending 10 years over engineering something that could have failed(and still can) in the first few months.
