If it’s Somebody Else’s Money paying for the development, go nuts with whatever crazy tech their 19 year old CTO wants to roll with. Hopefully they have a VC holding the bag to subsidise the ride.
But when it’s your stuff, and it’s your weekends you’ll lose when it breaks, use something solid to build it.
I was really hoping this was sarcasm, but sadly I've seen this happen far too many times already.
There is some impunity going on where the people making these kind of decisions in some companies when things fall down they just blame it on something else and switch jobs, and now you're stuck with mongodb or a django where somebody thought using sqlalchemy instead of the ORM was a good idea or a monorepo with all company's frontend code and its 14Gb of source code for scripts to make the tooling work in such monstrosity.
When most of the companies expect you to hit the ground running with every technology they use, I can't really blame them. If companies don't want to train the employees when they start in a new position, they will train themself when they about to leave.
