I get so tired of hearing about tech stacks. Tech stack discussions are 90% developers spinning their wheels and 10% money. Its really closer to 80/20, but most developers cannot get out of their own heads enough to reach a 20% discussion about money and business expenses.

In this instance tech stack has nothing to do with developers but rather what software and hardware is deployed to end users.

An example:

HP ProBook + Win 11 + Microsoft 365 each allocated x amount of bandwidth allowed to burst to Y amount

It can get significantly more in depth than that and it's 90% cost driven unlike choosing which DB you will be using as a developer...

In the current scenario with companies cost-cutting, I would say money is 30% or 40%.
