For sure. I used to be a real tech snob. And I still like experimenting. But I've had to admit that the particular technology used just doesn't make the difference I would like it to. E.g., PHP is a "fractal of bad design" [1], but Facebook seems to be an ok business. Or Javascript was clearly a frightful hack job to start, barely adequate for mouse rollovers and a little form validation, but now you see plenty of companies doing fine using it front end and back. These days I would much rather have a good team and a good culture than my favorite technology.
