The lack of self awareness is glaring. This is pushed entirely on sites like HN with endless hype and resume driven development. There is nothing wrong with hype. The big problem is anything new avoids proper scrutiny by forcefully marketing what it seeks to replace as 'obsolete' and criticism as anti-change. If its by a big player people latch on hoping to consult or acquire employable skills and the din by vested interests becomes incessant and scrutiny by lone voices can be ignored. This is used consistently on HN to push bad ideas aggressively until its too late, and the fact that rarely does this meet technical scrutiny early on suggests a missing technical depth in discussions.
