I mean, isn't that what "get on or get left behind" means?

It does not necessarily mean you'll lose your job. Nor does "get on" mean you have to become a specialist on it.

The post picks specifically on things that didn't catch on (or that only catched on for a period of time but were eventually superseeded), but does not apply it to other successful technologies.
