Very honest and well-articulated account of the kind of process we all go through when navigating technology choices. A lot of devs will come up with really complicated explanations about using words like idempotency as if development is a stateless activity that has nothing to do with our prior experiences and the tastes we've built up over time.
I've heard people build up impassioned "logical" arguments for their defense of a certain tech or pattern, when they're really just expressing a reaction to their singular experience with the technology that fails to account for the million things that could have affected their experience.
I feel like this post is a more honest introspection of choices than I typically see. Great stuff, Gerald.
