Its not entirely bollocks, you may have just missed the point: technology is cyclical, according to its application. Once, Ruby on Rails was the badass, non-boring way to write apps, now - because it was once so badass - it is 'boring' in the sense that anyone can do it, and you don't really have to think about much - its quite possible to operate on cruise control, and is thus 'boring' from the coding cowboy/techno-aristocrat sense of things.

Yes, and in so witnessing this, you are demonstrating how non-bollocks the original bollocks was and now is. Such is the cyclical nature of things in our highly stratified industry .. its one layer of bollocks on top of a shit cake, after another ..
- dtech 3y agoPlenty of new Serious™ Programming™ Projects™ use boring technology like Java and have for a long time. Once being the hot new thing and falling out of favor does not mean it's now a proven boring technology.
