It's always easy to ignorantly criticise technology choices.
But from my experience in almost all cases it is misguided requirements e.g. we want to support 100x data requirements in 5 years that drive in hindsight bad choices. Not resume driven development.
And at least in enterprise space having a vendor who can support the technology is just as important as the merits of the technology itself. And vendors tend to spring up from popular, trendy technologies.
- bdcravens 2y agoIt's not binary. Valid uses of a technology don't mean there aren't others using that same technology in a resume-driven manner.
- com 2y agoYeah, I’ve seen enough of both to know that this is genuine. The problem with resume-driven technology choices are a kind of tech debt that typically costs a lot of cash to operate and perhaps worse, delivers terrible opportunity costs, both which really do sink businesses. Premature scaling doesn’t. The challenge is not leaving it too late. Even doing that though only has led to a very few high-profile business failures.
