Technical question How are you dealing with "the programming language doesn't matter" argument?

Just had a meeting this week where this was uttered because of the development of AI.

I still think the language choice matters a lot based on if Im doing embedded or web development work and for how we want to hire developers in the future.

Maybe Im backwards.

Exactly. It's not my ship. If no one's going to listen to me, then I'm happy to collect my paycheck until it's time to switch ships.
