I have an opinionated style of building backends and infrastructure. I have my opinions on what languages and software I prefer. It isn’t often the popular choice and ppl. have questioned them over the years. That makes me question and reflect on my choices - which I consider a good thing.

Today I realized that there’re setups live and in production for 15+ years, which I have built or helped build, that never became a bottleneck or had a major outage.

Some form of choice validation :)
