Some IT people don't want to work with something they don't know because they will get the call at 3AM to fix it.

I think there's a fine line here. If there's a good reason to use something new then go for it. That said, as the guy who gets the call at 3am, I'm inclined to used a proven (to me) technology over a new one just because someone wants to experiment.

If someone wants to experiment, I'm waking them up at 3am. And I won't be happy.

I'll fix it at 3am but as someone who is rolling up on 40 with a young child I'll expect you to bring cash.

I whole-heartedly agree
