So, having opinions about the tools you use all day is a bad thing? Does this extend to other tools as well, or just the tech stack?

  Preference != condescension. Or preference <> condescension, if you swing that way. I'm currently dayjobbing in a world of Java on Windows. It's kinda horrible, especially after recent experience with Ruby, Docker, and fully automated infrastructure. But there's more to the job than tool choices. Fifteen years of legacy code has its own interesting challenges to overcome, and the work environment is terrific in many other ways that I probably wouldn't get at a modern startup.

    > Preference != condescension. "Not being happy using X" is preference, for sure, but is also not equal to condescension.

      On the other hand, "Only morons would use X" is condescension.
