The first time I recall hearing the idea of using “tried-and-true” technology aka OLD tech was when someone described Nintendo’s approach to hardware. After about a decade of experience I catch myself often saying that I prefer to have my stack to have a patina.
As a young engineer I kind of laughed at this idea because of course I knew everything and wanted to use the latest and greatest always. I wanted speed, I wanted new, I wanted it all.
Cutting Edge
Sometimes there is no choice, you must access a new feature or API endpoint that requires something new. Often time it is a choice though. The risk I think is high. It has to be worth it.
