Reinventing wheels and justifying it by straw man arguments when in reality it's just generational churn. Building up needless towers of abstractions. Going all-in on cloud and fashion stacks without assessment of requirements for a given task aka resume-driven development. For example, agile vs waterfall (when there is no such thing as a "waterfall"; there is such a thing as cluelessness, though). It's most readily observed in Web dev, where every five years or so the entire landscape is changing because a new generation can't be bothered to understand what came before (or, in fact, where the de facto mainstream stack has grown too many idiosyncrasies). For example, I'm expecting a back-to-basic-Ajax movement at the end of the React hype cycle, similar in spirit to motherfuckingwebsite.com.
