The industry is very new. The rise and fall is natural (lolwat data mining?). But the function is not uniform. MongoDB might be one of the worst tools on the planet for relational data, but data that's only accessed by id and is dominated by variable length data? There's no better db on the market. Agile? Well, nobody's figured any of that stuff out yet, to say the least. We can't even estimate basic tasks still, so planning is strictly fucked until we can. Additionally, there are so many things to learn, especially for up and coming developers that it's nearly impossible to select good tooling to learn in the first place. So you'll have them randomly spread across the tooling which, again, is indistinguishable from each other from the perspective of a new developer. I guess my point is that you're complecting two orthogonal concerns: the process of figuring out this software thing (still in it's infancy), and the process of bringing up juniors. Consequently, what juniors do before they gain sufficient training shouldn't have much impact on the value of tooling. That is, unless the tooling in question causes the juniors to make unnecessary critical mistakes because the tooling encourages it. QED I suppose.
