Is setting up tech stacks painful for you?

Do you struggle to choose and set up your infrastructures (eg. serverless or not) when a new idea comes into your mind?

I love to start new projects very quickly and start to think about creating something like a generator. Do you think there may be a need for this?

    This was a big pain point for me and one of the reasons I started divjoy.com (React codebase generator). It's doing pretty well, so there's definitely a need. What kind of tech stack are you thinking?

      Nice app! Any plans to add different stacks?

        Will definitely be expanding the options. Material UI and Gatsby are coming soon. What would you like to see?

          Rails mainly but maybe also Elixir/Phoenix

            I'm planning on sticking with Node on the backend for now, but maybe down the road. Appreciate the feedback!

          I built my blog using one of the starter packs which are really awesome out of the box already?

    I usually make products by nocode tools nowadays. I found the tool selection process pretty. There's a good amount of curated resources that explain how to build X by XYZ tools.

    I think there could be a need. I have a few strengths I stick to, but there's always something new that I want to try, and it's the interoperability between the two that's hard.

    For example, I like Rails with HAML, but I want to try React for Rails, but if I want to be fast, I'd just do Rails with HAML and string along some jQuery until I had time to learn how to get React and Rails to play nice. It depends how much I want to wade through documentation, vs just code.
