Technology never matters, but marketing does. Traditionally you had to use 'esoteric' technologies to attract top talent, which has long been held as an important factor in startup success. Rails had that moment in the sun, but that was decades ago.

Granted, it remains to be seen if the talent differential still matters in the AI era, but hiring norms haven't caught up either way.
