   @navi Like, Linus Torvalds throwing tantrums at NVidia will usually not cause your whole industry to have a meltdown.

     @navi I think what matters here is that whatever your work is about, it doesn't stand and fall with some demented techbro going rouge or not, so I think you're doing good.

     @alda i'm an odd one when it comes to this
     
     my "tech stack" is usually always c, some libs, maybe shell scripts, because it's comfy for me
     
     but the tech areas i work on are so diverse, init systems, graphics programming, wine (the windows translation layer), window managers/wayland compositors, http servers, parsers (json, json-ld), os-dev, cli tools, gui code
     
     so idk if i fit on monoculture or diverse culture

     Anyway. Monoculture is bad. Diversify your skills. Your preferred CMS or tech stack is not a belief system. Perhaps a single deranged former wunderkind should not be the single point of failure of the way you make a living.
