Shiny new thing (SNT) comes along, sales people and thought leaders get excited about SNT because they can sell it, everyone piles on as SNT picks up more and more hype, SNT falls apart as soon as it hits real world use cases, sales people and thought leaders start looking for new SNT and the cycle repeats.
I can not stop the cycle. You can not stop the cycle. All we can do is notice it and let it pass and hope some SNT will eventually be useful instead of pure hype.
