A friend was talking to my wife and said "I wouldn't install those
deck boards with a nail gun, I'd use screws instead".
The wife didn't think to ask why not so I will. Why not?
deck boards move due to outdoor moisture and temperature changes and
the nails pop out. Screws will not pop out.

My screws are slowing backing themselves out. Some move almost 1/4-
inch/year.
Freaky.
