Strongly disagree with the downvotes on this post.

The phenomenon you describe is real enough, but I’ve also seen teams lament their shortsightedness as they fight with the limitations of opinionated frameworks (cough… Django… cough). It’s extremely hard to choose the right tech. The best engineers I have worked with are just as good at minimizing the stakes of making the wrong decision as they are at making good ones.
