> Favor is given to proven, predictable technologies and choices

I feel like this goes two ways too. Sometimes people favor technologies they’ve used before, regardless of how many problems they know it causes.

If it’s predictable that certain tech will cause you issues years down the line, do not choose it again.

Yep. Sometimes it's "known issues are avoidable issues", and other times it's "hey I wish we didn't spend xx% of our time avoiding (incl. spending time auditing syntax) or doing mitigations for the same limitations/issues over and over and over again".

The wheels do turn, just slowly.
