That hasn't been my experience, from the people I've seen. It's mostly just excited engineers wanting to play with a new thing (which is great) but doing that in the most available place, their job (which is bad).

The advice I give them is "do whatever you want in your house (or your side project), but critically evaluate your business needs and only use what makes sense for your business".

Personally, I have a very low-traffic guinea pig side-project that I like working on, and I just try every new thing there.
