Stop changing technology

One thing I’ve noticed, over the years, is the habit of people blaming technology for the problems rather than taking a look at the processes behind the problem. A personal example A big example, for me, was when I was part of the Unix enterprise authentication team. The technology worked, and it worked well. It was resilient, reliable, fast. We literally turned off the infrastructure in one datacenter and all the clients correctly failed over to the next nearest one.
