The Boring Technology Manifesto

Author here. Yagnipedia is a personal encyclopedia I've been writing — humorous entries on tech concepts, tools, and practices, written in the voice of someone who's spent 20 years building software and has opinions about most of it.

The Boring Technology entry started as a love letter to Dan McKinley's original talk, filtered through the experience of choosing Go, HTMX, and server-rendered HTML for a product in 2026 while everyone around me reaches for React and microservices. The boring choice is almost never the exciting one. It's almost always the right one.

Happy to talk about any of it.
