This question has most likely been asked before, but since our industry moves fast I want to ask it still. You guys that roll your own operation, what is your business (no need to out yourselves) and what tech stack did you choose to complete it?

#2I’m not a solo business owner, but if I had to guess, I’d say that the ones who are successful turn their weakness into a strength by using some obscure tech stack that they’re a wizard with but that no one else uses. It’s a trite thought here on HN, but if I were a one-man shop I really would try to use a Lisp dialect.

#7lamp for web app, python for ml bits, node for a couple of things that have handy node packages.
I use pretty much anything that gets the job done with the least dev time.

#8Django, Python 3, Django REST Framework, PostgreSQL, ElasticSearch, uWSGI, nginx, Celery, RabbitMQ, Ubuntu, Ansible, Sentry.io, Gitlab, Hetzner, Cloudflare, Create React App.
Effects on success: I already knew this stack (no time lost learning new tech), can run with a very tight budget (suitable for starting a business on the side). And, obviously, this is a great stack that will scale far into the future if needed.
