>Were all those devs picking Ruby instead of Java in 2010 ruining their careers? I doubt it. Were the devs picking Java instead of Ruby for their startups? Very possibly, many of them.

Building a startup that ends up with a very high valuation, relative to its peer cohort, is a good thing. It's desired.

I was speaking more from a founder-perspective, but being an early employee with equity in a startup that becomes very valuable is pretty good, too.
