Working with various data, ML, and researcher-type engineers there's a bit benefit to using Python. Especially if you want to be at the forefront of what's being built.

I've been building with Python FastAPI and a React/Nextjs app. I've gone back and forth on whether we should have used Django, but we've been full steam ahead with what we have.

If I wasn't building in the AI space I think I probably would have used Node <-> React with tRPC to make the typed full stack monorepo experience seamless.

Oh and Postgres - I'm irrationally loyal to Postgres
