I love that philosophy. I read Robin's article a while ago and it really stuck.

My stack gets smaller every year. I love Django + Postgres, but a Python script + SQLite is often better. I just have less time for maintenance and I like things that just work with minimal dependencies.

In the front-end I love VueJS. I'm still at Vue 2 mostly because I have lots of projects to upgrade and don't see any reason to do so.

Everything is dockerised because I love reproducible builds.

Recently, I've started using Caddy instead of Nginx. I don't have to fuss with SSL anymore and I love it. The config syntax is saner, but I still struggle to configure it. At least with Nginx I have a lot of recipes from old projects.

My home-cooked apps are...

- My movie server, dubbed "Nickflix" by friends. I've dramatically simplified the code last week.

- My GPS logging server for the Owntracks app, also getting simplified today.

- My timeline thing, which shows my photos, GPS tracks, diary and other things on a timeline.

- My online recipes, which are just markdown compiled by the static site generator I created for my business.
