To be fair, a lot of these questions are valid. You arguably /don't/ need MVC for yours simple website, if Dreamweaver floats your boat you might as well use it, it's unclear why a small website needs an elaborate deployment infrastructure, using a VCS for personal code can be overkill, PGSql and SQLite aren't better than MySQL for every use case -- and so on.

Frameworks, orchestrations, even just new technologies -- these are great if they actually make your job easier or if they make your product better. Unfortunately, they often do exactly the opposite.

I've been burned before, have you? If you're using something like Google Drive, you should use DropBox instead, since it seems less likely to lose your work.
