What’s your approach to experimenting with new tools or frameworks in production projects?

I believe in experimenting—but not at the cost of stability. If a tool looks promising, we

first try it in a non-critical module or POC. For example, when React Query came out, we

tested it in an internal admin panel before rolling it into client-facing apps.

I also check community maturity, maintenance frequency, and compatibility with our stack

(.NET Core APIs, CI/CD, etc.). If all checks out, we schedule it into our backlog as a

technical spike and get team feedback post-implementation.
