Dude took an isolated instance where a well-tested new material engineering technique was used to fix a bridge and actually made an argument against boring technology. Amazing. I wholeheartedly disagree with the sentiment. However, I will point out that not all tech is built for all purposes. Just like we wouldn’t praise I-95 being rebuilt with silly putty just because the engineers enjoyed working with silly putty. They used a well-designed solution for a fitting problem. So too do we need to consider that boring technology is usually the RIGHT choice. But in instances where it’s not, or where it doesn’t matter: knock yourself out! Have fun!
