I think I get what you mean, but imho we shouldn't dismiss trends too easily either. There's some merits to clean coding principles for example. Its when people get really religious about something, that it starts to derail completely. That happened with microservices for sure. Everything had to be a microservice at some point, which was just ridiculous. So yes, critical thinking for sure, but also keep an open mind to new trends. You don't want to become religious about dismissing anything, just because its trendy!
I agree that dismissing everything is the same as accepting the latest trends. In the end of the day we are toolsmiths. We create tools to solve problems. The problem begins when we lose focus of the problem, and get enamored with a specific tool. After all, if your only tool is a hammer, all of your problems will look like nails. :)
