The endless roundabout of discourse on which technology choice you should or shouldn’t make is exhausting. As a senior engineer im able to sift through the bullshit on this but as a junior I remember these discussions were draining and also made me feel like shit about decisions I’d made.

I guess it drills into a part of human nature where we are always measuring ourselves and our things against others.

I don't feel that a simple upvote is enough to express my support for this statement. I'll +1 this all the way to retirement!

Technology-choice as fashion needs to die. There are suitable tools for the job, and unsuitable ones. Deciding between them gets harder when loads of amped up juniors are selling each other on the benefits of the latest and greatest without actually putting them to the test over the course of years/multiple projects/iterations.
