- econochoice 8y agoPlenty of entrepreneurs have made a lot of money chasing fads. Web 2.0, NoSQL, microservices, etc.
- UncleEntity 8y agoHow many of them made a lot of money chasing a literal fad -> foodie shots? My great idea is to make a blockchain version of HN and instead of karma you get HNCoin, just need a 100 million dollars and a top-100 userbase...
- nostalgeek 8y agoYou are mistaken, these aren't fads but buzzwords. Web 2.0 is the web of API, NoSQL existed well before the term was invented and microservices are a valid software architecture since it's not a question of size but an organizational concern. Even "severless" is just the good old worker queue system. And yes, buzzwords come and go but nothing behind these are fads.
- bdcravens 8y ago> stop chasing fads and start creating real value for people The two aren't mutually exclusive. The best startups combine the two: solve real problems via what's hot and attain virality and investment attention.
