I try to think the opposite way. As an employe I try to find joy on each task regardless of the underlaying tech.

This way I became happier at work and I think I can easily find a new one if needed because my pool of potential employers is bigger.

Otherwise you’ll eventually feel bored at every job because every tech eventually becomes “boring”.

Why not both!

Definitely. But for a company it’s much harder to switch technologies. I am currently leading a team of devs where I work, and I often get complaints about not using the latest features of the language or better languages. The choice is made by the company and for good reasons. I tell them exactly what I said here. Find the way to enjoy work and celebrate your achievements, it doesn’t matter if it’s Java, Kotlin or C#, at the end what we’re doing is solving business problems and that can be a lot of fun.
