I like the phrase "oldie but goodie." Sometimes it's applicable. In computing when a hot new tech trend comes along that "everyone" decides is the smart way to go, it rarely is. It most often is an "oldie but baddie" with a new name and new image. You would think that software people were so facts-oriented that they wouldn't be subject to this kind of emotionally-driven, be-part-of-the-group, get-with-the-program-man kind of thinking. But most people want to belong and want increased status. If believing in micro-services is the ticket to membership in the ranks of the software elite, a shocking (to me) number of people are all in.

Given how fashion-driven our lives are, it would be shocking if programmers weren't fashion-driven in their shared activity of software. In fact, they are! Sadly, the vast majority don't think their choices are fashion-driven. They believe they're modern, with-it software professionals who are using the proven, advanced methods for doing software. The trouble is, few of them take the trouble to cast a knowledgeable, cold, hard eye on the arguments, experience and facts concerning their chosen methods and tools. They've made their choices so they can be with whatever software social group they identify with and/or aspire to. It's all about relationships and status. If you're ambitious, you may want to be with the "cool kids," members of an elect social group, yes, in software. And it works! If it didn't "work" (elevate their software group status), they wouldn't do it.
