    10 years ago I would have wholly disagreed with this. It’s probably 10 years before I wholly agree. But read it now: http://mcfunley.com/choose-boring-technology …

        @avibryant maybe we should figure out what's really painful about current tools instead of reinventing the same pain with new tools.

        @avibryant: first thing I thought when I saw your tweet: 10 years ago Smalltalk and Common Lisp were boring; Python and PHP were new + hip

        @rcoder both Python and PHP are in their 20s now. (Yes, we’re getting old).

        @fulhack @avibryant I'm not at liberty to discuss that. Just kidding, for web apps Flask+MySQL+nginx, maybe some Intercal for tougher tasks.
