My priority is to get things done. Ubuntu (DigitalOcean VPS), Django, Postgres, HTMX. I'm going full old school boring tech. No excitement. No drama. I might even go typeless if the code is of reasonably manageable size.
Same but with Rails and traditional server rendering if it's feasible. I know React is becoming boring tech but imo it's just so much faster to bang out most of the boring pages server-side and then if you really need it, break out "cooler" client functionality into its own React sub-app.
