Popular ideas are exactly the problem in the industry. I’ve been really put off by what I believe is a lack of critical and original thinking in tech. Bad leadership within management, cult and fad following seems to abound.
There’s a real feeling of the blind leading the blind in webdev.
htmx, Rails, and Laravel all point to better ways, and people are starting to be receptive.
I agree. Our industry is perhaps the most cargo-culty industry that I've ever worked in. And the sad part is, unfortunately everybody thinks that they are the paragon of original clear thinking.
