While true, but that’s totally devoid of information. People still need to make decisions. Even people who lack the wisdom to make them well.



That's really where "it depends" is important though. First the decisions need to be what matters and what to prioritize. With that context its much easier to decide on the best technical implementation for your needs.

The problem is conversations often end up being "we're starting this shiny new project, what tech stack should we use?"

What is really needed is a shortlist of priorities, from scaling concerns to types of users and how frequently content/data may change. Without that its just a grab bag of tools people are familiar with and the latest hype trend.
