I could not agree more that this is an unfortunate part of our culture. I used to always feel behind when someone would mention a new technology that I had never even heard of. Only now, after 6 years of doing this, am I starting to finally give myself permission to not know everything.

Elasticsearch is one piece of technology that I pride myself at knowing backwards and forwards.

Cool :-) Elasticsearch is truly everywhere!
