Great advice. Also extends to teams, 'What do we all know well enough to execute?' should trump 'What would be fun?' every time. I've worked in situations where someone saying 'Oh I decided to write this in Clojure, even though I'm the only one here who knows it and we're running out of cash' cost significant time and resources to fix (the fix was rewriting the project in plain ol' Python myself). It just isn't a sensible risk to take.
