There are too many junior devs who don't know what they're doing who are given too much attention on social media and using it as a platform to spread bad ideas...

Most developers and managers in the industry are not experienced or skilled enough to recognize how bad these ideas are and so they all ignore the tiny handful of senior developers who are actively trying to point out why the new trend is a bad idea.

It takes over a decade for the majority of people in any given generation to finally understand that the technical trend didn't make sense to begin with. Then by this point some new crazy technical trend comes up at the same time as a new, even bigger generation of junior devs enters the industry and the insanity repeats... The industry stays perpetually irrational and code quality stays low forever.

The best parts of the industry to work in are software security and software consulting... Then at least you can monetize all the software design flaws which all these crazy trends keep creating.
