I was in the training industry as a coach/trainer before going full time developer. One reason I went into software instead was because of all the bs, guess what, it's even more bs in the software industry. You should use these tools, these programming languages are the best, you should follow these style guides, chasing the next big thing, sound familiar ? :P At least with exercise there are a lot of scientific studies, but in software there are mostly gurus, hype, cool-aid and strong beliefs, and plenty of money to be made by smooth talk and snake oil. Just like in software , the experienced developers do not buy the bs, just like the experienced coaches/athletes. It's people who buy software, or are new to training that fall for it.
