The Stack I Reach For When I Have Two Weeks

React, TypeScript, Postgres, a pinch of Python on the side. Not because it is perfect. Because I can finish.

The Stack I Reach For When I Have Two Weeks

Tags: React, Supabase, Python, Shipping, unlisted

Two weeks is not a time for a new language. I use the tools I can debug tired. A hosted Postgres with auth if the app is small. Python scripts where files and vision live.

I will not introduce a queue product until a table of jobs is not enough. I will not introduce Kubernetes for a warehouse phone app.

Cuts are the stack too

No custom design system. No extra microservice. One deploy. One database. Logs I can read.

The second two weeks

Then I add the edge cases: offline, lookalikes, the vendor file. The first two weeks are the job that hurts.
