Step 1:
Raise your eyes above the computer monitor in front of you. What is the team / company already using? What will they likely be using in one year from now?
Step 2:
Ask yourself honestly without "I wish I could and I wish I would" - can the problem be solved using the tech that the team / company already has invested in?
Step 3:
Make decisions. Default to the answer in Step 1, but consider the evaluation in Step 2. Try to get as close to 1 as possible.
At home / "for the shits and giggles":
Whatever is interesting. Sometimes even bending backwards to force functionality out of tech that has absolutely no business doing what I want it to do.
