For me it's easy to decide -- I use all the familiar tools/languages/technologies for my tasks until i get limited by them. sounds boring but works for me! i built my first app with react + AWS when there was a ton of hype around svelte and bare metal. i just with what i knew to get the job done quickly. (btw i just launched Findr as well and would love your support :))

Sometimes, sticking with traditional methods adds a sense of stability and reliability, especially in industries where tried-and-tested methods are crucial.

It's all about weighing the benefits versus the learning curve. If the new tech offers substantial advantages, I'm willing to invest the time to learn it.

I like to experiment with new technologies in a controlled environment before fully integrating them into my workflow to minimize disruptions.
