The essay makes it fairly clear to me. There is a constant churn of fads in the tech world. Usually they are beneficial for some specific use cases, but get hyped up beyond all belief until everyone wants to use the new tech without questioning whether they should or not. If there aren't ton's of articles about how great a new tech is then it's probably "boring". Think of it more in terms of fashion than interesting.
