Oh the amount of time our industry wastes behind technology for the sake of technology! First, let's write tons of articles extolling the virtues of microservices. Then let's counter that with tons extolling the virtues of using microservices the right way. Hype followed by wisdom and then go back to hype again! When are we going to mature! Boring is good and predictable.

We would be stuck in local optima, never trying to find a better global optimum. Not every new practice will work out. The bad ones will be weeded out by natural selection. But if we try to stop evolution by discouraging mutation, we will stagnate.

So many programmers are too new to understand the huge amount of context for our industry, and it will probably not improve while the number of programmers continues in hypergrowth mode. Another way to think of it is that half the industry is still in the stage of not even knowing what they don't know.
