I agree. I usually spend about $60 per project (= startup). On the frontend, I stick to vanilla JavaScript with direct DOM manipulation using Bun.js. For the backend, I use Go, relying mostly on standard libraries. it’s incredibly fast. Many developers underestimate how much they can optimize when they go closer to the fundamentals.
