> talk even less than before about actual engineering and more about the tools

Isn't that just a consequence of how much--or little--context is shared with (or easily-communicable-to) Random Strangers On The Internet?

For example, I've got some architectural issues going on, but it's a lot of work just to summarize it in a way that doesn't require local/domain knowledge. In contrast, talking about the weather or tabs-vs-spaces doesn't need much set-up.
