> 1. No one working in tech actually wants to solve a problem and move on. The problems are too fun to leave alone once there's an MVP. Enter stage left, all the framework churn. Adoption of graph databases that don't fit the problem. All because the developers are bored and not business aligned.
There's another problem arising out of this for those of us that DO like to solve problems and move on - we're seen as not 'proper' techies if we're not completely obsessed with technology, able to bore for hours, with a github full of projects etc etc...
I like using technology to solve problems. I really don't give a stuff about the intricate subtleties of a versus b technology unless it absolutely matters, because for the vast majority of situations the obvious, pragmatic choice will do the job just fine.
