@leip4Ier@infosec.exchange You are stretching the analogy. Your choice of technology stack affects the end result much more than you imply. It's more like using the wrong size wrench cause it's your favorite wrench, it will work but it will wreck the nut, or putting threaded bolt where a smooth pin should have been, cause you love bolts, again would work, but with long term consequences. A customer will never notice these things, but a good mechanic will and will alert the customer.

Yes a customer will notice the server going down, but exactly how often and for how long must it happen for them to consider a different service provider or product? That should be a standard set by the industry. I was exaggerating this with the chocolate analogy.

Yes we don't know anything about how cars are manufactured, and we can only know something if we go to a local independent machine shop and ask for advice, and they must be very critical, both of the work of manufacturers and other independent machine shops, upwards to tools used, because there are not many things out there that have no reason and no consequences and are just different for the fun of it, and those few thing that are, in normal industries are left to hobbyists or dedicated R&D teams, and if they happen to stumble upon something of objective value, it might eventually make it into the industry after years of scrutiny. In our industry you just disable a couple of "tests" to get it "green" and ship.
