On the remarkable inertia of database and programming language choices early in the life of a company:

Job descriptions are often a good way of learning about a company's tech stack. "Experience with SQL databases, Postgres preferred" shows exactly what DB they use. It's much rarer to see a dev blog, but I find this is often sufficient for my curiosity.

It's weird: I'd always been interested in experiencing a 100% remote tech company. I don't feel like I've achieved that yet, despite the quarantine. Normally you'd still have normal routines outside of work. Premeditated remote work has a different flavour I suspect.
