I’m guilty of doing this at my current company. I am a creative builder. There’s something inspiring about building things in a new format, the same way an artist might explore art in a new medium. I get frustrated with the parts of the company that use “technology X” because it’s a “core competency.” I’d be more accepting of this argument if I didn’t notice a strong correlation between proponents of this strategy and people who often do bare minimum maintenance, purely market request driven, nothing inspiring or innovative or game changing. Then competitor does something cool next door and tue blame game starts as the pink slips issue. Evolve or die. There is of course the flip side of this coin, and the yen-yang of balance is what makes for the best strategy.
