Interview with
summary
Argues for preferring proven tools over hype and gives a concrete vetting process: ask what problem we're solving, prove you can do it without new tech, then design low-risk experiments that can be rolled back if they fail. Explains why shared platforms create economies of scale and when a new thing must overcome that cost. Shifts cultural reward from chasing novelty to shipping, and points to Kyle Kingsbury and his Jepson work as a useful model.
