It's all cycle. Remember when XML was the future ?
Money quote from https://www.bitecode.dev/p/hype-cycles:
> geeks think they are rational beings, while they are completely influenced by buzz, marketing, and their emotions. Even more so than the average person, because they believe they are less susceptible to it than normies, so they have a blind spot.
Here I am seated in meetings discussing MACH architectures and serverless, while thinking about "The Network is the Computer" in Sun's manuals.
First time I hear about MACH. Is the name because of the Mach OS?
(The top reference I get for it is a spam-site that is trying to hype the name and sell a domain.)
Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native, and Headless.

Yet another trend in our fashion driven industry.

This made me remember the amazing “parable of the languages” that had XML as the main antagonist of the story. We need an AI update for this one.
