Users Don’t Care About Your Tech Stack

The Hard Truth

Your users don't care if you use React, Vue, Svelte, or COBOL. They don't care if your backend is Rust or Ruby. They care about one thing: Does it solve my problem without making me frustrated?

The Developer Trap

As developers, we love new toys. We spend weeks debating Bun vs Node, or Tailwind vs CSS Modules. These discussions are fun, but they are often internal distractions.

While we're busy refactoring a component for the third time to use a new state management library, our competitors are shipping features.

What Users Actually Care About

1. Speed: Does it load instantly?
2. Reliability: Does it crash when I need it most?
3. Intuition: Do I have to read a manual to click a button?
4. Value: Does it make my life easier?

When the Tech Stack Matters (to the business)

The only time the tech stack truly matters is when it affects the items above.

• If your stack is so complex that you can't ship a bug fix in less than a week, it's a problem.
• If your "modern" framework results in a 10MB bundle that takes 5 seconds to parse on a mobile device, it's a problem.

Build for the User, Not the Resume

At Solardevs, we pick technologies based on stability and speed-of-delivery. We use tools that allow us to build resilient systems that stay up. Because at the end of the day, a "perfect" codebase that doesn't ship value is just a digital paperweight.
