> you need to have good enough taste to pick new techs...

So you see tech as you see fashion, i.e it requires good taste?!

When you choose a new tech, perhaps you should consider what problems it solves and whether its costs are worthwhile for you, not whether its a hot new fashionable thing to "wear" in parties (conferences).

Tasteful ≠ trendy. By “good taste” I meant the ability to pick a technology you won’t regret later.
