The progressive mindset is more and more dominated by the politicians syllogism: "We must do something! This is something, therefore we must do it!"
Progress has no feedback loop, either, which combined with the above is a recipe for disaster.
It's like software code churn. A bunch of git commits must indicate we're really getting some serious work done!

Is this seriously a thing? ie. people refactoring stuff for the sake of refactoring? Maybe the company I work at hasn't progressed to that stage yet, but the type of "change for the sake of change" that you're talking about I mostly see with designs/layouts.
