A great example of not getting bogged down in analysis paralysis. Adams chose and continues to choose "sub-optimal" technologies for developing and running DF. Heck, last I checked he is still manually doing version control with folders and flash drives. As he states in the article, he is infinitely more interested in the design side than the technology side. The takeaway is that he is motivated to make his vision a reality and ships regardless of the tech choices. An imperfect project that ships is better than a perfect one that doesn't.
