What were the technical buzzwords that companies used to signal hotness in the industry before the ML hype train (startup or not)?
I know on the process & management side for large organizations, there's been a revolving door of Lean/Agile/6 Sigma/ISO 9000, each with their own set of certifications, colored belts, and army of advisors/consultants.
I like the idea of always being retrospective and asking what can be improved, but it's made me a bit cynical seeing management chase fads based on whatever a vendor tells them.

- cr0sh 10y agoI tend to think this whole "hype marketing" thing has been going on for a very long time; I can't quantify how long. I do know that if you look at various technology marketing around the decade after the release of Capek's RUR (1920) - almost everything that was remotely mechanical or automatic or electronic was referred to as a "robot". So it has been going on at least that long, and I suspect longer.
