  • In the tech industry (likely every industry but I wouldn’t know) we could make a 200 level course in college that covers tech that’s been over hyped. A few choice hits like:

    • Crypto
    • Blockchain
    • Quantum
    • Cloud
    • WS-I
    • LAMP
    • XML
    • P2P
    • WORA
    • OOP

    Now some of those went on to become useful concepts, but all hardly lived up to the hype of transforming the industry forever. There’s just no shortage of people who lack any kind of set of morals that will, without any knowledge in the domain, jump on some train and hype it to get some quick cash before the thing derails in a fit of coming to terms with reality.

    I mean, at least it’s been this way since I’ve been in the industry.
