This is a common thing I've read in books and heard from my more experience co workers. My favorite current example is OpenAPI specs for building a client or generating docs. SOAP was another big thing. So was CORBA. We're really good at rebuilding RPCs. Not to say that they don't have their differences and benefits. NextJS always gives me a laugh too. I remember when it was newer in 2019/2020 and people raving about its file based routing and server-side rendering. These new waves sometimes have new benefits to them, and sometimes they don't. I have to imagine that we won't ever seen an end to it, but at least it keeps some exciting new stuff on the table.
