Front end development is particularly prone to the hype cycle. Other parts of the stack are a little more stable in their tooling. I personally believe this is because the front end ecosystem is comprised of more self taught and boot camp people. They’re super excited to do development and live on hype, whereas other areas are still more likely to be classically trained computer scientists and engineers that are less hype prone. This is of course a super over generalization and you can find tons of exceptions but if you look at the industry overall this is why I see it happening.
