We go through this, generally, every 4 years. I don't know why it feels like 4 years is the 'period' of new-school-hacker-on-the-scene, it just feels like it from the perspective of industry/capitalism out here in the workforce. Perhaps its because it seems like 4 years is the mean time between start and end of the new-school; i.e. it takes at least 4 years for the group who have forgotten how to do the old stuff to be replaced by the group who don't know anything about the old stuff, and just re-invent it all again, with bells and whistles, and .. y'know .. youth'y cool.
