Some people like working with new tech; in my experience most do it not because they like it but because of their resume. I like how I can get really good, cheap and experienced devs for ‘non hip’ tech because they do not want to work with new tech, they want to improve their skill on what they know; java/spring, c#/asp, django etc with jquery/bootstrap. Resume driven/recruiting forces them into all the new stuff but they rather take a pay-cut to work with the stuff they know and are good at. I need stability in software and my teams over the years; the continues race for the latest and greatest helps me do nothing for my business (making profit that is), including recruiting. Quite the opposite in fact.

> they want to improve their skill on what they know for me it's quite the opposite.., after around two years of working with some tech I feel like I can do anything with it and it becomes boring for me making me want to try something new.

but yeah my mindset always was being the jack of all trades, which is very good for small startups and not a good mindset for corporations which I avoid..

The question is, are your employees aware of this?
