Same and same. I feel like I'm reading my own words in your comment.

In my early professional years, I noticed the types of software engineers who locked into the "one *true* [language|framework|pattern|stack]" were the most likely to be religious and/or libertarian types. It was the bible belt, and my business was in the shadow of a prominent baptist university. It was so exhausting. Hiring was a challenge because there were many very talented and capable young coders, but culturally they'd often be *cancerous*. So, I tried to suss out their zealotry by asking about a software flavor du jour and their opinions about it. It is indeed rare to find the balance of judgemental, parsimonious, open-minded, and humble.

I like everything about this, but I don’t think “parsimonious” means what you think it does…
