I consider this a major flaw in the industry.

It just seems that new frameworks and "new technologies" are just reinvented all the time for no real reason. In web development the plethora of frameworks and languages for both front and backend don't really serve a great need. We just follow the whims of major companies vying for the developer mindshare and I'm not sure we're actually building products better, faster or cheaper.

We just follow fashion.

That being said there's a lot of underlying knowledge that gets reused. I haven't seen many new ideas in the last 20 years.. just rehashes of old ones.
