Had an old boss that wouldn't put our stack in JDs because he felt any truly good programmer could pick it up. I mean, true, but it's not efficient hiring, or effecient business practice.
I would actually like to work at a place like that. I've worked with a very wide variety of languages and platforms and I don't much care which one I use now. I'm much more interested in what the project is than in what tools are being used to produce it.
Just kidding - nobody has interesting projects any more.
Well, we had one stack. There was no variety, it was that he didn't want to put it on JDs.
And some places have interesting things, but unfortunately not many. I'm working on data provenance protocols and distributed identity management using ActivityPub at the moment, and I would consider that very interesting, but super-boring to others.
