You might be right. I do like my title more than yours though, it's more catchy!

Regarding your point however, I think you might have missed my point by a little bit, so I'll try to clarify.

I'm not advocating for existing tech. I love new technologies, and they're often a better fit than what came before. What I'm advocating for is that instead of spending time and money on investigating new technologies and trying to find problems you could solve with them, you instead spend time on finding and identifying problems that your organization is running into, or developing a vision on where you want your company to be in 5+ years.

I believe that the best and most suitable technology is always already out there, as long as you know what you need to build.

The thing is of course that looking at new technologies is easy, and identifying worthwhile problems to solve is very, very hard. But that shouldn't stop us from considering that way of thinking.
