💡 Our engineering principles

Technology choices

The first two of these follow the Run Less Software philosophy (reading the linked post is highly recommended!)

We largely restrict ourselves to a small set of well-established technologies

Advantages:

• We become experts in the technologies that we use
• Smaller amount to learn
• Enables full stack engineers
• Established technologies have big communities and are battle-tested
• Established technologies are not changing rapidly, so less tech debt

Trade-offs:

• We won’t use the most optimal tool for every job
• Not as many opportunities for the team to learn cutting edge technologies, architectural patterns
• Makes it harder to hire

Note: this principle largely applies to tech we build in-house, as opposed to 3rd-party services and libraries (see the next operating principal for that).
