- Ididntdothis 6y agoIf you want your resume to look good you have two options. Either you work on prestigious projects (or do boring stuff at a prestigious company like Google) or you use the latest shiniest tools. Most projects in enterprises are very mundane and unimpressive so your next best option is to always jump on the latest and shiniest. It’s a very rational choice. If you always do what’s best and most efficient for the company you run the risk of not being employable in the future. When I look at the job ads my company puts out, most devs who work there at the moment would not get hired because they don’t use the tech the company is asking for.
