Everywhere I’ve worked has struggled with what has been mentioned here as “resume driven development.” I love that term. Never heard it before. There’s always something “weird” about the stack, for example C#, React… and Neo4j for this one little thing. I guess if it makes sense, it makes sense, but certainly there’s a penalty we all pay for building production apps in something even a staff engineer is “junior level” with- often because that thing is only a couple of years old.
