My biggest contention with the article is around writing enterprise software

I find solving business problems exciting. I didn’t really get into this business to purely write code or only work with novel technologies. I got into to empower others to do things they otherwise wouldn’t, couldn’t, or didn’t think to do.

To me, the language I work with is such a small slice of the pie. The problems don’t even have to be novel, I simply like approaching a problem and solving it well, and hearing the feedback about how it helps.

I've gotten there, but only after about 25 years in the industry. I think when you're just starting out, you should be excited about different technologies and looking for excuses to try them out.
