I work with pedagogies, teach, write curricula, coach, manage, mentor, consult, speak publicly, polemicize, and sometimes work as a full-stack web developer, architect, ontologist, and more.
It is not time to go back -- or forward -- to anything.
It is long past time to start using the right tool for the job, rather than searching endlessly for the tech panacea. Let's take an "Ecclesiastical" approach instead. (See Ecclesiastes 3:1-8.)

There's a trend that's being pushed heavily and branded as "the right thing" by many vendors with vested interests.
