Every year brings a framework that will ‘change everything’. Your product needs to survive several of those cycles. Here is how we choose.
Start with your team, not the tech
The best stack is the one your team already ships well. Hiring reality beats Hacker News enthusiasm.
Boring is a feature
WordPress, Laravel, PostgreSQL — these run enormous portions of the web precisely because they are predictable. Reserve your innovation budget for the product, not the plumbing.
Headless when it pays, classic when it doesn’t
Headless WordPress wins for app-like experiences; the classic stack wins for content velocity. We ship both, chosen per project, never per trend.
The exit test
Before committing, ask: can a competent developer take this over in a year without needing you? If no — choose again.
