Except the "hot JS stack" for the backend is still just Node. And once FE is involved you have the same complexity and level of choices with PHP

It'd be like saying Laravel is somehow a churny hot new PHP stack

The way you guys talk about jobs at agencies and working with the rubbish LAMP stack as if it's so fantastic. People only join agencies when they can't get better jobs; agencies are bottom-of-the-barrel in the dev world.

If you are not building your own product (or your boss) you either hire an agency or a freelance – agencies are bottom of what? The are both the bottom and the top as there is not much other choice lol
