True somehow but this is the typical Silicon Valley style where most of the stuff is so democratised that for people to start off, it has become a big fallback.

Like if you are a student or planning to switch career, then take what's free.. build and learn and ship!!!

I lowkey agree to this. But this is like a starter kit for people who are just mindlessly building and exhausting their credits on apps like Cursor or Replit.

Plus, having a dedicated stack that is you can functionally depend on, will help you scale much easily and accumulate very less technical debt overhead.

If you build an app mindlessly with Replit, chances there, you have a mock or hardcoded DB or auth and when you ship the v2, all data will vanish..

So, it's less of a good thing and more of a bad thing for people starting out.

But yes, you are truly right that this is also very inconsistent to rely on credits. I appreciate you raising this up!

So much true. I have been a developer in past so I understand my bias towards convectional frameworks. For me, the biggest dealbreaker for Replit was the scale cost.

I the technical debt that I was incurring per project. It is still my go-to option for prototyping and quick tests but this was just the regular stack I am using to ship stuffs.

Also, yes, there a a lot of alternatives (great ones) that I missed and understand that the list is not complete.

Would love to know what stacks you use so I can also try them out.
