Technologies are (just) tools

It ain't what you use...

Who cares what you use

I don't care if it's react, vue, svelte, backbone, or coffeescript

What I do care about is if you can consistently and autonomously write that feature code or squash that bug - ideally in timely fashion and in a manner that adds to your happiness.

I don't care if it's webpack, esbuild, or bun

What I do care about is whether or not you are pulling your hair out waiting for our assets to recompile, and whether the total compressed/minified bundle size is taking a while for our end-users to download.

I don't care if it's django, node, rails, or laravel

What I do care about is if you can consistently and autonomously write that feature code or squash that bug - ideally in timely fashion and in a manner that adds to your happiness.

I don't care if it's postgres, mysql, cockroach or mongo

What I do care about is whether or not our end-users get their data quickly and accurately.

I don't care if it's docker, terraform, ansible, or capistrano

What I do care about is whether or not you're spending time and heartache on just getting your dev env up, or whether or not you can ship without sinking your workstation (even if it's only for five minutes).
