A lot of new technology eventually becomes boring technology, and this is because of adoption in companies exactly in the way the author is discouraging. When the new becomes boring, everyone gets to reap the benefits of the new tech.
The world of software rests on the hard work of others, whether it's open source maintainers spending their free time making libraries for peanuts, or it's people going through the pain of productionizing a new technology. Being in the boring technology club is in a sense also being in the freeloader club, never contributing back to the state of the art.
It's a good article. It makes us aware of the drive many have to use the new thing, and the negative consequences of following this drive blindly. But I'm also happy that people do it.
