Ask HN: Feel stuck and overwhelmed by tech choice

2 hours ago 2

Across last 18 years I've been working on many different products with different tech stacks; my journey looked like html+js -> php -> obj-c -> swift -> kotlin -> go -> js -> typescript + all possible infra (from dokku to multi cloud with terraform)

I have a lot of idea I want to build/prototype quickly, but every time starting a project I feel stuck and paralyzed with many choices, end up reading internet and HN for 3 days on all possible tech choices and find myself tired even before starting project.

I know I should just pick one and stick to it, but its very hard. I spent most of my dev time working exclusively as iOS dev with obj-c and I know the stack inside out. I was productive and very quick. With the rest I feel like everything is at the same level of unknowns and I have zero opinions.

Do you happen to experience the same and how do you fight it?
