How do you handle a situation where a team member wants to use a new technology?

I love it when devs show initiative. I ask them to make a case—how it helps, potential risks,

nd how it fits into our current architecture. Then we review as a team.

In one case, a developer wanted to use Tailwind CSS instead of our standard SCSS. We

reviewed the pros and cons, tested it in a feature branch, and agreed to adopt it for

greenfield projects. The key is balancing autonomy with technical alignment.
