To me, most of the ever-changing and evolving technologies are rehashing or repackaging of technology and ideas from the past. I actually love coming across and diving deep into these old ideas with a fresh eye. For example, I came across Erlang's not about lightweight processes and message passing... which lead me to take a look at Joe Armstrong's PhD Thesis that he wrote in his 50s after 20+ years in the industry! Such a gem and a wonderful explanation of how Erlang helps you build reliable distributed systems.
