But look at people like Pieter Levels https://levels.io/how-i-build-my-minimum-viable-products/

He uses PHP because he knew it and could build things quick with it (in a single file in his case).

haha I'm vulnerable here. Settled on Nextjs, React, Supabase and Tailwindcss for most things and I can build things quite quick with it now. If I need a local application (e.g. for Mac, Windows or Linux), I reuse the same code with Tauri.
