    What's your go-to tech stack for building something? I'll go first, since I mostly work with web related stuff, for me it's TypeScript for sure. For any complex application, Next.js with MongoDB as database. If it's just a landing page, I'll go with something super-lite like Vanilla TS with some tool like HTMX or VanJS.

    HTML & Microsoft paint. Just kidding, I’m not a developer. But don’t want to feel left out of this conversation 😂

    @slimmy82 Microsoft Paint is not the easiest coding language to learn 😊.

    By imparting your expertise, you can assist others in acquiring new abilities. This could entail mentoring young coders, creating tutorials, or doing seminars.

    @daniel_henry4 I guess I'm no expert, I'm still learning stuff. But I do try to share knowledge via posts and articles on platforms like dev.to

    Before I started toddle It was NextJS + postgres. I would never recommend a NoSQL database unless you have a very specific need. Now my go to is toddle + supabase.

    @zignis @andreas_toddle I'll take that, mostly worked with MongoDB till now, but learning Postgre.

    @andreas_toddle @andreas_toddle I agree with the nosql part, relational databases are acid compliant and can solve 90% of all the database needs. You can't maitain integrity of data in mongodb, and I believe you can't have relations between two documents using a foreign key (do they even exist in mongodb?). I tend to stick with traditional and mature technologies. I'd use mongodb in very specific places like job queues or session management, although I'd prefer redis for that.

    Developers assemble at various tech gatherings to collaborate, share knowledge, and explore the latest advancements in software development. These events provide an excellent opportunity for developers to network and discover innovative tools and practices. At an affiliate marketing summit, developers can connect with industry leaders and learn how to integrate cutting-edge technology into affiliate marketing strategies.

    Prakhar, I'm all about the MERN stack for full-fledged apps—it's such a seamless experience for developing scalable web applications. For static sites, though, give me Jekyll or Hugo with a sprinkle of TailwindCSS for that quick, stylish deployment.

    @markk0217 Yes, you should try Next though, I loved the seamless experience Vercel provides.
    Prakhar, I gravitate towards a MERN stack for full-fledged apps—React for the frontend, Node.js and Express for the backend, coupled with MongoDB. For static sites, I keep it simple with Hugo or Jekyll for a quick and performant setup.

    Prakhar, your stack is pretty solid for modern web development—TypeScript really does bring that extra layer of reliability. For my projects, I gravitate towards React with a Node.js backend, and Postgres for the database when I need something robust.

    @cen_xu Yup, I'm looking to build something with Next + postgre actually. Haven't worked much with it.
