majorbloodnock (3/19/2013)Utterly agree. The more experience I gain (for that, read "the older I get" 😉 ) the more I see the technologies I work with purely as tools, and it's not the tool that is important but what you end up producing. A cabinet maker is judged professionally by the furniture he or she produces, not by the make of planes and chisels he or she uses, so why should it be different in the IT world?
At the risk of firing up another "discussion"... we risk losing our unique place to make THE difference, instead of A difference; or worse, backing a winning horse that eventually loses. You've always struck me as reasonably logical when it comes to evaluating the human condition, Bloodnock, so was this a rhetorical question?
Never stop learning, even if it hurts. Ego bruises are practically mandatory as you learn unless you've never risked enough to make a mistake.
