The problem is that certain developers have nausea when
have a need to learn technologies âCâ, âDâ etc. because they are long
enough in the business to know that those technologies are crippled and
handicapped cousins of technology âAâ and they will have to spend their
mental efforts on fighting deficiencies and quirks of those technologies.
It is also very unproductive to retrain developers
constantly and resistance to learn new things for the sake of today is very
natural. We all should be focused on obtaining knowledge and skills applicable
in years to come.
