What's your go-to tech stack for building something?
I'll go first, since I mostly work with web related stuff, for me it's TypeScript for sure. For any complex application, Next.js with MongoDB as database.
If it's just a landing page, I'll go with something super-lite like Vanilla TS with some tool like HTMX or VanJS.

Before I started toddle It was
NextJS + postgres. I would never recommend a NoSQL database unless you have a very specific need.
Now my go to is toddle + supabase.

@andreas_toddle @andreas_toddle I agree with the nosql part, relational databases are acid compliant and can solve 90% of all the database needs. You can't maitain integrity of data in mongodb, and I believe you can't have relations between two documents using a foreign key (do they even exist in mongodb?). I tend to stick with traditional and mature technologies. I'd use mongodb in very specific places like job queues or session management, although I'd prefer redis for that.
HTML & Microsoft paint. Just kidding, I’m not a developer. But don’t want to feel left out of this conversation 😂

Prakhar, I'm all about the MERN stack for full-fledged apps—it's such a seamless experience for developing scalable web applications. For static sites, though, give me Jekyll or Hugo with a sprinkle of TailwindCSS for that quick, stylish deployment.

Prakhar, your stack is pretty solid for modern web development—TypeScript really does bring that extra layer of reliability. For my projects, I gravitate towards React with a Node.js backend, and Postgres for the database when I need something robust.
By imparting your expertise, you can assist others in acquiring new abilities. This could entail mentoring young coders, creating tutorials, or doing seminars.
@daniel_henry4 I guess I'm no expert, I'm still learning stuff. But I do try to share knowledge via posts and articles on platforms like dev.to
Prakhar, I gravitate towards a MERN stack for full-fledged apps—React for the frontend, Node.js and Express for the backend, coupled with MongoDB. For static sites, I keep it simple with Hugo or Jekyll for a quick and performant setup.
