Exactly. Spend your weirdness budget wisely, for the things that are really important to differ on. It's fine to spend it, but spend it where you're getting substantial value in exchange for it.

Yep, that's what the innovation tokens are probably a reference to, the talk occasionally gets brought up on the site. Such a cool talk, I agree with most of what's said there, albeit sometimes even certain "boring" technologies might have a bunch of complexity to them.
I find it amusing that you called it "weirdness budget", but then again that pretty accurately describes the feeling I get when I see someone using a fairly niche DB instead of something like PostgreSQL, or something like NixOS instead of a regular Ubuntu LTS or RHEL-like. Not that it's a bad thing, there's plenty of specific use cases out there for sure.
