These kinds of articles are a bit foolish. The reality is, you need senior engineers, people who have built systems before, and are over the stage of their career where they just want to build stuff for fun, and are actually focused on building systems that provide value for the companies they work for. It's not about new tech, or old tech, or boring tech, or exciting tech. It's about looking at the specific problem at hand and making an assessment about which technologies make sense to use. As much as our industry doesn't want to admit, there are advantages to having real work experience.
