It is a common saying that “clients don’t care about the stack you use for them” but I disagree.
I think most devs don’t know how to tell their clients to realise they care.
You have a clear advantage if your clients are technical and you’re able to communicate the benefits they will gain as a result of you skills in the stack and the general advantage of the stack in as much as you understand your clients.
Being able to communicate your stack to your clients with the language they understand gives you advantages over someone who doesn’t tell their clients the stack they use because they think clients don’t care.
For example, you can tell your client you’re going to use React.js, GCP or AWS by saying:
“We will build your app with the same technologies that power great companies like Google and Facebook so that you can sleep well at night.”
Saying this makes them realise you’re trying to make sure they have stable apps like Google and Facebook.
Wait! I strongly believe it is unethical to make this kind of claim when you’re not skillful, willing and able to deliver.
Above all, the point I am trying to make is that clients care about the stack you use for them if you know how to tell them.
What do you think? If you agree, please give more insights on how to gain more advantages by telling you clients the stack you use but if you disagree, feel free to raise your case.
Cheers!
