dinosaur tech won't exactly attract an eager set of programmers

and these programmers will soon realize that companies don't want trends, they want reliability and support

This opens up a myriad of options, from frameworks to templates, to hosts

in my personal experience, I really don't like frameworks.

My twitter feed is filled with the horrors of websites gone wrong: hacks and data breaches abound!

"The Internet gave us access to everything, but at the same time, it gave everything access to us."

The internet has a much larger attack surface than traditional apps since accessing them is so much easier, but it is possible 👍


If you ever want help making your next site, feel free to ping me :)

Yes, I don't really want to attract the kind of programmers who always want to work on the latest thing. Unless you're going to rewrite every 3.5 years, they're going to leave and you'll be starting from scratch with new programmers.

Better, I think, to look for programmers who want to actually want to solve meaningful problems, not spend their time rushing to the latest JS library.

On the other hand, I like Rails. It does just about everything, and there's little need for debate on how to solve that one problem that everyone has solved before.
