Stop Chasing the “Best” Tech Stack

Every founder wants the same answer: Which tech stack should we use?

But here’s the truth: there is no single “best” stack. The real risk isn’t choosing Golang over PHP or React over Angular—it’s building your company on a technology you can’t hire or scale for. A brilliant framework won’t save you if your talent pipeline is too thin, or if you’re competing with giants for scarce developers.

Daniel Pieper, MISSION+ Fractional CTO, has seen this play out in startups across Asia and Europe. His message for leaders: your stack is also your people strategy. Pick technology that balances technical needs with hiring realities, future flexibility, and long-term sustainability.

Because in the end, your stack should be a strength—not a shackle.
