Marketing. Every choice we make as developers today not only has to be vetted by the team, it has to fight against all of the other options and the opinions created by people who are paid to convince others to use their solution.

And by push back, I mean spending days researching these new technologies to see if they’re just an old technology with new wrappings, a VC backed promise that’s still a few years from being usable, or doesn’t solve the problem at all.
