Sure. I think I'd maybe go one step further than the headline and say that for startups, unless it is what you are explicitly building from scratch and selling, your tech stack should never be the product.

Laying the right technical foundations shouldn't be difficult -- it should be generally be picking the most boring[1], dependable choices that you've been able to rely upon in the past.

I had a pretty negative reaction to that title but completely agree with the post (and largely with the example choices). I think I'd rephrase it more as "choose proven technology", cause "boring" to me conjures up images of Java hell.
