> I'm also not sure the core dump was because of 'out of memory'. Yeah, I'll ask you what you used, but I'll do it because you've accomplished something cool and I want to compare and contrast strategies from someone who's (in my mind) succeeded at something. If they see someone else who's constructed something they're not sure how to do with their current toolset you know they're going to ask what the other guy used to build it. Carpenters are way more than people who wield power tools, but it doesn't mean they don't discuss tools with each other. Are they using something I'm unaware of? Are they using something I'm aware of but may have dismissed and should reconsider? Are they using something that they now regret and can warn me away from? Part of 'how they did it' is what tools they used. If i see someone build something awesome and would like the ability to build something awesome in the same sphere I ask them how they did it, so that I can emulate those strategies in my own work.

It's not them hoping to jump you for using the unpopular framework. If you've demoed something cool and someone asks you what technologies you used it's usually because they're wondering if they can use them themselves.

I don't see it as an insulting question at all.
