Bootstrap is something I've been working with for over a decade. When I first started using it, I didn't quite get it. After a few attempts at building website themes from scratch on my own it started to make more sense.

I've been running websites with Firebase for years. It's reassuring knowing that you don't have to worry if your site is up and running or if your server is performing well. You know that your content is being served with the reliability, performance and speed that only Google can offer.
