> "Newest technologies" are for early adopters and hype suckers. Engineers use proven technologies, not just "newer" for the sake of it. This is in total opposition to the way I was taught engineering. New technologies get used in products and projects all the time. There's a discipline called risk analysis where the pros, cons and risks of technological choices are weighted-in to take a decision on whether or not to incorporate them. The more a given tech is used, the better it's understood, making it less risky to incorporate into larger products.
