Ha, you decide:

"Dude we totally have to use this new technology I read about on HN at 2:00 in the morning. It looks so cool!"

"Let's use the technology we always use because we know it works for what the client needs and I'll still be able to pick up my kids at 5:30."

Who are you giving your money to?

Why do you think that the ONLY way to spend extra time on is on that new thing from HN 2 AM?

I'm not following this huge leap that you and other commenters are making.

How about choosing between the people who have twice as much experience with managing this Oracle cluster you have. Do you want the one with 10 years experience, or the one with 20 years and is credited in Oracle documentation?

(all else being equal)
