Tech Stack Defense

Format: Choose a tech stack for a new project, prepare to answer "why," then have AI challenge you.

Exercise: You're building a "Pet Adoption Platform." Choose:

1. Frontend framework: Next.js vs Remix vs Astro
2. Database: Supabase vs Firebase vs Neon
3. Authentication: Clerk vs Supabase Auth vs Auth.js
4. Deployment: Vercel vs Railway vs Render
5. Styling: Tailwind vs CSS Modules vs styled-components

For each choice, answer:

• What did you choose?
• Why did you choose this over the others?
• What's the biggest risk of this choice?
• Under what circumstances would you change this choice?

Then have AI challenge you:

"I chose the following tech stack for a pet adoption platform: [your choices]
Please play the role of a skeptical senior engineer and challenge each of my choices.
Tell me the problems I might encounter and the alternatives."

Core Lesson: There's no "best technology," only "the best technology for the situation."
