The "Boring" Stack

Published

I was listening to this podcast: The boring JavaScript stack featuring Kelvin Omereshone (K.O.O) (JS Party #319). My takeaway is I should be using a boring stack to build my business ideas. Leave the shiny new toys for tinkering and use something stable.

While Kelvin talks about the benefits of using Sails, I was thinking about the other “boring” things that constitute a boring stack. It goes beyond tecnologies, like how to run a business, how to organize your team, and how to market the product. And when those things are boring, they are unsexy and oftentimes neglected.
