Is this a parody? "Developer finds new tool -> is amazed -> thinks this is the future of X -> turns out it's not very useful outside one or two cases"

- taylodl 4y agoSadly, no. Developers do this all the time. They set out to "change the world" without first understanding why the world is the way it is in the first place. Their going-in assumption is things are the way they are because everybody else isn't nearly as smart as them and just can't figure it out. Developer delivers solution - it falls flat on its face. Some people respond to this repeated experience by learning to ask questions to better understand why things are the way they are and eventually those people may come to develop truly revolutionary technology. Others just become serial entrepreneurs.
