> I do deploy things in different languages -- We are a small team of open-minded programmers, and we are on a constant search for better tools and methods.

This claim does not pass the smell test. Tech sprawl is a widely recognized problem, and dumping codebases each 2-3 years is outright unthinkable and pure madness. It doesn't even come across as resume-driven development because 3 years is not nearly enough to get anyone at a proficient level.

This claim is so outlandish that I'm inclined to dismiss it entirely as completely made-up. There is no project manager in the world who would even entertain this thought.





Your world seems small -- I never said anything about dumping codebases. If i have a library implemented in Rust, which gets called by a program written in C++ through FFI, and contacts a service which is implemented in python, I don't need to dump or waste any old work. A carpenter that only uses a hammer isn't a very good carpenter; different tools have different strengths and weaknesses.
