Reading between the lines, I feel like the author (who admits that they are new to the industry) is placing too much emphasis and value on certain technologies having "hype". This is reasonable - I also was a bit like this when I was starting out in my career. I feel like the takeaway the author should have arrived at is that hype comes and goes, and doesn't really correlate with whether a piece of technology is valuable or not.
