I've noticed that a lot, and while it's not wrong to adhere to the "golden path", I take issue when it becomes instilled as rhetoric in a developer and precludes them from understanding or dignifying someone else's choices or questions when deviating from it. There's always this aggression-of-curiosity in response, never a "well you'd do x, y, and z, but it's not recommended". It's always "Well why would you do that? That's wrong, you're supposed to..." and then an hour later after someone is red in the face just asking a question it comes down to "yeah I've never used 0mq before with rails, sorry maybe try Slack" [edit: The comment I was originally replying to has gone from 1 sentence to a paragraph and is still receiving edits. Including this note for posterity just in case it looks like I'm talking to myself in a closet.]
