There's multiple cycles. Hype usually predates the technology by several years. Drones are common now. But the last drone hype I saw was 20 years ago. AI has been around longer than I was born. Stuff like DDD and functional programming are ancient but they've become more popular in recent years.
I think it takes a long time. Often the tech is a puzzle piece when we don't have the rest of the puzzle yet.
- tmaly 5y agoI think VR definitely fit this. What we are seeing now is like the web 2.0 wave of VR.
