Possibly tangential, but I've really been enjoying writing software with very minimal tech stacks with no dependencies (or very few). Go works well for this, but really any language that lets you create a file and just start writing straightforward code is sufficient. As soon as I need to use some CLI to scaffold out a project with tens or hundreds of files, or pull in a ton of dependencies, I kind of check out. It's fine when you have a team and a big serious project, but in my free time I really just enjoy having a couple files of straightforward code and that's it.
