IMHO boring tech is great because it lets you focus on the actual tech of your product.
Well obviously you need to catch up with the times. If the 'CTO' (who has at least 5 years of experience) of my shiny new SaaS can't do a regular blog post about how clever he is solving this week's obtuse problem in version 0.3.75beta01 of this MemeDrvrUltra thing he found last month and bet the company on, is it even really a SaaS startup? And he'd be denied that multipart year end expose (crossposted to every social platform on the planet using AIoftheWeek v.五.九 to dress it up to fit) about HOW FUCKING HEROIC his team was staying up for 8 days straight migrating from MemeDrvrUltra to SuperMegaMemeblaster ("Closed Private Beta FTW! We're special") and how it almost worked because MemeDrvrUltra was at least a couple of years old and clearly not what the VCs were talking up at the last speed pitch angel event (tho version 0.4.22.beta03 did close a bunch of our tickets (what's EWONTFIX mean again?) and changed its mascot to some funny looking frog). If all you did in life is be old and lazy and boring and pick "what works" or "what's well supported" or "stuff that doesn't get me an outage call once a week at 2:45am", what's the point of even living? Really, what sort of loser wants to work at a company like that?
