What's in Your Tech Stack? Choosing Tools by Purpose or Hype
Every few years another technology becomes the ‘in thing’, something that every company wants to use. Much of the time the hype isn’t based on success stories from its adopters, but instead comes from some deeper wisdom along the lines of ’everyone else is using it’. Wow. Very technolog. So engineering. I’d like to mention a few such technologies in the context of when a technology is chosen as the best tool for the job vs the best tool for the hype.
