Popular technology which I would like to avoid

TypeOrm, Bookself, Seuqlize?- not type safe, not well maintained. Suffer for all the typical ORM issues. In past Knex.js + Objection.js, now PRISMA
NestJS - not type safe, class and decorators is not the way in TS, FASTIFY
Styled Components - we learned a lot from them but now Tailwind is the way.
MySQL - depends on need but date conversion support, ranges, native JSON support, PostgreSQL
