<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&#x27;ve recently started a company in the past few months that is already enjoying good MRR.  I didn&#x27;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&#x27;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&#x27;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.
