Because doing something new is much more fun that doing something effective. And most software developers don't really get into this job out of doing things effectively - we're get into it out of the sheer fun of it, altough we would never admit it to our bosses and often even to ourselves.

- rifung 8y agoWhy do you say that? My initial reaction is that it should be the opposite: people who are enthusiasts would want to learn something new because they enjoy using and learning technology, whereas a "workdrone" would focus on being productive because they are focused on work. I'm not saying you're wrong or that there's anything wrong with either mentality, I just don't find your statement self explanatory. Please do elaborate =]
