Paul Simon has a song called ‘One Trick Pony’ with a bit in it that goes like this: He’s a one trick pony One trick is all that horse can do he does one trick only It’s the principal source of his revenue In the world of programming being a one-trick-pony is not an option. What it means is that when that one technology that you’re currently married to becomes obsolete you’ll be instantaneously out of a job or out of customers.
