I mean… it’s only Monday!
But yes, there is an interesting change in the past decade, where everything new must be over-hyped.
Perhaps it is attention overload and needing to shout. Perhaps it’s that technological progress has significantly slowed while communication options have exploded (coincidence?).
I look at it a lot like EVs. They’re great, if your use case is inside the specific band. But, that isn’t who they were being marketed to. And now… “pushback” is putting it lightly.

Or, it's that the last two years have been the largest and fastest shift in the daily life of a programmer since the compiler, with near everyone moving, simultaneously, to this new tech, not because of hype, but because of practical personal benefit.
Regardless, everything being hyped isn't new. There's always been silly hype in tech.
