But it is not only people cargo culting at home. It is also people doing that on the job. Instead of looking at various alternatives and truly evaluating them, looking at benefit and downsides each brings, people jump to whatever is the current hype or what is fashionable and then justify it with a circular argument of popularity. Instead of immediately when the talk is about clusters jumping to kubernetes, people should think about whether the conceptual overhead is actually worth it. They should think about, whether the Google scale tool is truly appropriate for what they want to do. Similar situation of course with all the hyped JS frameworks, when a simple statically rendered website/page would do. Basically it is not engineering any longer, but cargo cult and hype. And that is how shitty products are made.
