Techtember, a time to scale down your tech stack… if applicable

9 September 2025

September is the month tech companies launch new products, and encourage consumers to buy up, giving rise to the portmanteau Techtember. You learn something new everyday. But instead of increasing our tech stack of stuff, Andreas at 82mhz suggests we shed excess paraphernalia.

I like the idea, and I would if I could, but my tech stack pretty much consists of a laptop, a smartphone, and some headphones. That’s it. No router (we tether), no printer, nor smartwatch even… who needs one when you can check the time on your phone or lappy?

I sit here churning out copy daily, and all I have to my name is a laptop. Go on, laugh, I don’t mind.

Happy Techtember then to all who celebrate it…
