prompter: I want to create a tech stack recommender web app for people looking to bolster their resumes that asks questions to the user and then recommends a tech stack based on popular technologies listed on job postings. What tech stack would you recommend I use to create this web app? Keep it simple.

assistant: Since your app will have to parse job postings, which I assume are located on a different website than where your app runs, you will need a backend to do that parsing. I'd recommend starting with a framework like Nuxt, since it allows you to write your backend and frontend code in one repository. If you want to store data in your backend, you will need a database as well, in which case I'd recommend Sqlite if you're not expecting much traffic. Otherwise you might want to use PostgreSQL, a more scalable database.

prompter: How to start with Nuxt?

prompter: Can you explain why do you recommend Sqlite?

assistant: SQLite is a popular choice for several reasons:

1.  Lightweight: It is a lightweight database system, meaning it requires minimal setup and has a small footprint. This makes it ideal for embedded systems and devices with limited resources.
    
2.  Serverless: SQLite operates as a serverless database, meaning that it runs in the same process as the application using it, making it easy to integrate into an application.
    
3.  Cross-platform compatibility: SQLite can run on a wide range of platforms, including Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux, making it a good choice for cross-platform applications.
    
4.  Zero-configuration: SQLite requires no setup or configuration, so there are no administrative tasks to perform, which makes it easy to use.
    
5.  Public domain: SQLite is in the public domain, meaning it can be used for any purpose and its source code is freely available for inspection, modification, and distribution.
    
6.  Reliability: SQLite is designed to be reliable, with features such as atomic transactions and crash recovery, making it suitable for use in production systems.

assistant: `sqlite` is a lightweight database engine that gives an SQL interface to a data file that sits in your filesystem. It's well tested, robust, fast, and as it's a library it doesn't require external processes, let alone a database server. It's used extensively by web browsers and mobile apps due to its size, speed and simplicity.

This makes it an ideal starter database as you can treat a file like it's a database server, then move to a SQL server as you need more throughput.

There are two down-sides of using `sqlite` this way. Firstly, because the `.db` file exists on the server and is in memory you have less "defence in depth"; file or memory disclosure by the webserver can leak the whole database. Secondly, while concurrent reads are generally very fast, writes can cause lock contention. So if you have multiple users and a slow disk then it might not be the right choice.

Despite the scalability issues, it's a practical default for quickly developing a working prototype that includes a database component.

assistant: I would recommend using NextJs which includes react as part of it, together with a MYSQL as the database.

prompter: what is react

prompter: Can you tell me the steps needed to set this stack up?

assistant: -nodejs for backend
-react for frontend
-postgres for database

prompter: Why to use JavaScript tech, there is a lot of another tech available, you must search and ask about the specific context of that app to bring to me a tech stack more focuses on my problem. For example, if the backend is with Rust, will be a loot faster and lightweight.

assistant: Yes, you are right, there are many other technologies available and the choice of technology stack depends on several factors such as performance, scalability, ease of development, and others. In this case, considering the simplicity and ease of development, a JavaScript-based tech stack is a good choice. However, if performance is a key requirement, then you may consider using a different technology stack such as Rust for the backend.

assistant: Since you don't know which tech stack to use, I assumed you are a beginner programmer and I would not recommend Rust to a beginner. JavaScript on the other hand is one of the easier languages to learn.

assistant: Ok, let's initiate my Interactive Quiz Mode and work together to narrow down the specifics of your desired web app so that I may better analyze the request, and then recommend a more appropriate tech stack for you. This will be a multiple step process in which you answer each question individually, and I will fill in the table below with your responses before providing the final recommendation.
