I agree with a lot of what this article is saying, but here's a counterpoint: http://www.paulgraham.com/pypar.html http://www.paulgraham.com/pypar.html (Although I think you'd have to call it something different from the python paradox nowadays). I know personally I prefer working for companies that have these modern tech stacks, not because I'm a tech hipster or because I think these newer technologies are implicitly better than the old ones. Rather, I think it signals that the people there care about their profession and are interested enough to read blogs, keep up to date, etc., and those are the people I want to work with. That's not a criticism of the people that want to work with what they know and go home and not think about tech at all. Just a personal preference.
