The problem is that most developers are crap and self centered on working with the tech they like.

You need to work with someone who doesn't care about filling up their CV with "ruby microservices" and get stuff done.

If I went into a business to do a rewrite and decided to use $shinyNewTech because I want to build up rust experience I'd probably end up wasting years with little results.

The existing app was a large rails monolith. This wasn’t a small 10 person team but a 50 person org. Groups can get funny ideas sometimes.
