edit: Apparently "choose boring technology" is just clickbait, and in fact the guy advocates for all the nuanced technology selection advocated here.... so errr, apparently he in fact is saying "don't chose boring technology" or something, whatever.

I completely disagree with almost any blanket philosophy on technology.

Don't choose boring technology.

Choose technology that suits the context:

* choose what you like for personal projects

* choose tech your team has the skills with

* choose tech that won't be a problem to recruit people for (I'm looking at you, Ruby On Rails)

* choose tech that gets the job done

* choose tech that the industry is moving towards

* choose tech that levels up your team's skills and makes them feel excited that they are learning and advancing

* choose tech that allows you to meet the priorities of the project (your project does, define priorities, right. right?) security/availability/maintainability/performance/compatibility/whatever

* choose tech that ensures your team and company won't be left behind when market skills move on

* choose the cutting edge if you think that's the right choice for some reason

It seems pointless to me to say "choose boring technology".
