That may be more of a case of the stack reflecting you than defining you. The distinction I'm drawing is whether you allow external perceptions to influence yo

  To try to be more clear, I'll make up an example. Say you as a founder are a Ruby guy, perhaps you value being able to rapid prototype, throw away code, iterate quickly. Maybe your product needs to be very high performance so you hire a team of C programmers. What you might find is that their idea of iterating quickly is on a different timescale than yours, due to the low-level and unforgiving nature of C perhaps your team tends to be pedantic (by your standards) or correctness/detail oriented (by theirs). In this situation your team, influenced by your technology choice, is bringing a different value set than your own to the table. BUT this is not (necessarily) a bad thing, if C really is be best tech for your product your team can strive merge both your and their values; however, my point is without you actively trying to do that, your tech just defined the value set, not you. (In this case it also possible that maybe Rust or Go would have been better tech, but that is a different conversation)
