Dogfood your stack choice
“Devs we care about work in Go” vs “we dogfood TypeScript” — pick, then stick.
Draft — not posted yet X post coming — not published until Buzz OK.
Technique
- Prefer the stack you’ll actually dogfood this week.
- Lock the choice in writing; reopen tomorrow if needed — not mid-PR thrash.
- Keep verify tooling in the same language you ship (e.g. Playwright on TS).

Mid-build trap: argue Go vs TypeScript while PRs burn.
Day 1 move we liked: dogfood the stack you’ll use *today*, lock it, reconsider tomorrow.
Shipping > purity theater.
