Don't be too attached to your tech choices! (Java Brains)

One problem I see is a lot of people get too attached to their choice of technology. It also, it almost becomes like they make it a part of their identity. Like I'm a Docker developer. If anybody says something bad about Docker, it's like "No! I'm going to fight them!".. But. It's not necessary because again technologies come and go. Docker is here today. I don't know if it'll be around five years from now. Maybe there'll be something else.

Which is why it's important to understand like the problem space, understand what is it that the technology gives us and then having this overview of what else is in that space. So let's say something more popular comes along. We can easily switch and learn.

If you have done a deep dive in one technology, it's not going to be very hard to do. Like, "Do I have to learn that whole thing all over again?" Well, no. If it's a similar problem space, it's probably going to be so much more easier for you to learn, than if somebody were starting from the scratch.

So yeah, don't be attached to your choices, a right tool for the job, and then keep an eye out for better tools. So that even if you picked something that was the right tool for the job previously, maybe there's a better tool. So it's, it makes sense to adopt that. So yeah, that's, that's the way I look at it.
