I guess this is obvious but for the record: once one company using hot_tech_x gets significant funding, several more do. Then you have a bunch of ppl invested (literally) in hot_tech_x's success. hot_tech_x is then the answer to every problem. clogged sink? microservice. Maybe a question is: what is today's hot tech? Do we even care as long as we get paid?

> Maybe a question is: what is today's hot tech? React, Kubernetes, Docker, GraphQL, Elixir You're absolutely right. So few companies are solving actual problems anymore. It's all a cyclical bullshit hype cycle with very little innovation. Once the hot tech company IPOs, VC's force feed the next wave of bullshit tech/ideas. I hope Fowler is getting compensated well by the cloud companies for his misinterpreted advice.
