Having worked as a CTO and technology consultant to many startups I can tell you that choosing the initial technology is an important decision where you have to take into account several factors:
1. Prefer What You Already KnowMoving fast when working on a new startup is important. If the founding team is already experienced in a specific stack, its an advantage to choose it and work within their comfort zone rather then re-learn a new technology.
I made the first developer I was ever in charge of want to quit programming. That was roughly over 15 years ago. I’d like to think I’ve improved over the years…
I think a key moment to that development was during the early years of my professional career. I was working at a big software company, spending probably 12+ hours a day at work and not getting enough done.
